RCS sounds interesting. I used to work with enterprise content

I've only ever used RCS from the commandline, but quick search yields:

https://www.compuphase.com/software_rcsbrowser.htm
https://docs.hpc.cam.ac.uk/storage/rcs/gui.html
https://filezilla-project.org/

although I can't immediately see how FileZilla relates, despite it
being recommended by the cam.ac.uk page.

CVS is a higher-level layer built atop RCS, and there seem to be more
GUI support for it:

https://cvsgui.sourceforge.net/
https://eclipse.dev/eclipse/platform-cvs/
https://apps.kde.org/cervisia/
https://github.com/KDE/cervisia

Again, I haven't used any of the above systems and only found them
because your question piqued my curiosity.
Ah, thanks. I should have thought to check my repository!
These suggestions are all quite interesting but seem to be massive overkill for
what (to me) is just wanting a simple warning
Sorry, since I don't still have the original email around - what was the
original idea?

I simply want a warning message so that I don't overwrite and existing project.

This has happened to me on a number of occasions.

A typical scenario is where I load an existing one, then while playing it have a
bit of inspiration for an alternative version, get deeply engrossed in this and
*forget* that I haven't saved it to a new project name. Stop and save. Bang!
I've just wiped out the original that I wanted to keep.

Ah, thanks for the reminder. Yeah, the source code control idea would be way 
over the top for that.

So, when would the warning show up? First time you went to save a project after modifying 
it? First time you open an existing project, something like, "Do you want to open a 
copy of this project?" Both?

This is a tricky one IMHO because on the other hand when working on project I also want to be able to always save and not risk losing any change which comes up.

So any warning like that should definitely be a switchable on/off option.

My two cents.
