I've worked at a place with CD-R versioning scheme but without the Tim equivalent.
Although the backups were pretty important because the founder was paranoid and insisted that we put the hard drives and swap space of every machine through 25 runs of shred at the end of each day.

They were kept on the CTO's laptop because he was the only one allowed to see the source, everybody else just got the function they were working on. The code was written in C++ but the CTO was a Fortran programmer! So no inheritance, no function overloads, no private data. And no malloc/new - there were several global buffers of different sizes statically allocated at startup and you used these, managing your own pointer offsets
