Exactly. Labview is a mess anytime more than one person has to maintain a codebase. Source control tools are absolutely KEY to using any language for automation. Which mostly rules out Labview.

Do you have any more workshops/hackathons scheduled?

I know I'm late to the discussion, but I've worked on a very large LabVIEW program with ~10 active developers and source control was extremely important. But I'm talking about SVN with the option to lock files. If by source control you mean "distributed, file merge-based" source control like git, than I would agree there aren't good options for LabVIEW. But a central repo with file locking, small changes and LabVIEW graphical diff worked fine.
