Yes - and that's even more important.
I once accidentally overwrote a recipe with a buggy version, and had the
old version neither locally nor could I retrieve it from PmWiki. It took
me a bit until I had cleaned that mess up.

No ;-)
Actually, I think simple versioning in the uploads/ directory would be
just fine. I.e. no branching, no merging, just a way to compare and
retrieve previous versions. (Branches and merges are just too powerful
and complex for mini-projects like PmWiki recipes.)
