such as
script vs. script bundles, consider that fair game.
Barring some plugin for a VC system that can read compiled scripts,
I find
that saving them as text lets them work nicely with any VC. The
issues are:
1) No integration that I'm aware of for AppleScript with any IDE
other than
maybe Xcode, but then Xcode isn't good for non-GUIfied scripts
2) remembering to save to text is a PITA.
Script Bundle Tool does not have a very sophisticated VC, but it does
save a copy of the source code every time you compile. It's not saved
as text, but as a script document, which is almost the same.
