Keeping track of revisions takes some getting used to, it's more the discipline to check in, check out and log changes in a descriptive way you can read back later on than anything else, but once you've seen the benefit of it, for instance being able to revert to two versions earlier w/o any effort or add a branch to pursue a different idea, you'll never want to go back to the old way of backing up files. Just use RCS, CVS, SVN, Mercurial, GIT or whatever else system you think fits your project best. As for keeping track of changes textually: it depends. If it's single scripts you usually don't but larger projects, often the ones you share and distribute, will (or should) come with a separate change log.
