If you like programming in C, you could try looking at the GNU source code for RCS (Revision Control System), a tool that used to be commonly used by Unix programmers to keep track of different versions of the same code. Oops, come to think of it, you might have to look up the source for the 'diff' program too, because RCS may use that transparently. There are other more advanced utilities that *nix programmers use today such as CVS (Concurrent Versioning System), which may contain more code than you need or want to bother with.

But what do I know?
