Many projects didn't use a reasonable versioning system until 10 or 20 years ago.
Before decentralized versioning system, this technique was highly impractical - in one SVN project I worked on, checkout of a branch / revision took ~30 minutes.
CVS tracks commit on individual file basis, checking a global state of the project at a particular timestamp wasn't that trivial / necessarily correct.
