No.

Version control deals with preserving copies of files after they have
been edited.

My issue has to deal with the process of editing them.

Version control would not make it easier to incorporate edited files into
J's ijs editor.  I would still have to close my editing window and re-open
it.  If anything, a version control system would add extra steps here and
make this a more tedious issue.

With most editors I use, if I save a copy of a file using a different editor,
I will get a warning that my file has been changed and an option to load
the new version (losing any unsaved changes from this editor) or to
ignore the changes (losing whatever I did in the other editor).

And, usually, they just concern themselves with the file's timestamp --
it might be more convenient if they would ignore cases where the file
has a new time stamp but the contents are identical (have the same
md5sum), or if they would at least inform me of this, but I can live
without that.

[Meanwhile, has anyone noticed that jsoftware.com has been timing
out and closing http connections after 62-63 seconds, without sending
any response?  I have been seeing this for the last half hour or so.]
