> I was thinking a revision history inside the file.

I think this technique is used for historical purposes only (from back in
the days when getting a log of changes was difficult). I prefer to use the
revision control system to get this data. Like databases it makes sense to
put data in one place only. When you add this to the file itself you get
into having the history in multiple places and it's bound to get out of
sync. I vote for putting it in subversion only.

Currently, you can get this historical data by just running "svn log":

$ svn log Page.py
