"version control craze" !

Really! version control is one of the big improvements to software development I have seen.

Now if we could get the rest of the customer chain to start version controlling their requirement docs and properly minuting meetings and action points

Version control is great as a productivity improvement tool and a way to organize contributions from multiple developers. It's not great when treated as a social network or productivity measuring tool. When you're firing off PRs to get your name up there again or to fill in your square on the calendar, you're kind of abusing the tool.
