Versioning software does a whole lot more than keeping old versions around.

SVN even keeps tracks of a file rename. So you can look back in the edit 
history of a file across renames and directory shuffling.
(OK, if Leopard can do that too, all the better *g*)

The other thing that Leopard most likely can't do is to merge changes by 
multiple users. Say, two users with write access (one most likey coming 
in over the LAN) edit a file, one manipulating lines 1-50 and the other 
manipulating lines 80-100 - SVN can merge these changes. Leopard most 
likely not.
