I agree that simpler scripts deserve to be in source control too. I read it to mean what I also would say, myself: if it's anything but the most trivial of scripts (so, rather _programs_), they shouldn't be in BASH. Some people in this discussion are clearly very well versed in BASH. Great. For average developers, though, it's hard to build (good) programs in BASH, and the rabbit hole swallows them. Every time.
