I think it depends a bit on your situation. If you're the only one editing the code, you might find using a version control system too much overhead. I would probably still want to do it even in that case, but not everyone would. If you're making changes infrequently, a backup of the files might be enough for your comfort level.
If there are multiple people editing the code, I think it's a no brainer to use some kind of version control, whether it's git or another option. It's great to be able to look at commits and know who changed what, when, and why. One nice thing about git specifically is that branching is really inexpensive. We use topic branches a lot where I work and then test against them using "--environment =" when we run the agent.
