I'm developing scripts that get run by crontab, so I'm in there making updates fairly regularly. I would love to be able to document the changes, so I'm wondering if there a usual and customary technique to version crontabs?

Ideally there would be some sort of hook around 'crontab -e', but failing that, I'd have the output of 'crontab -l' (run regularly by cron?) go to a versioned file. Plan B sounds a bit hokey to me.
