You can version AutoLISP but the output is so verbose (at least for machine generated code) that diffing versions is like diffing PDFs or PCL files. You can see the changes but they don't make any sense without the whole file being rendered.
NOTE: Its been 20 years since I used AutoLISP and the code I was using was being generated from software that did cut-plan optimization for lathes so I am probably speaking from a very old/ignorant point of view.

And of course, as for making sense, well, you have to use good commit logs as well. But maybe you're talking about some technology that generates AutoLISP from a GUI? I don't know anything about that...
