Anything that needs to be filtered for viewing again pretty much needs version control. Email largely fails at that, as hard as other correspondence systems. That said, we have common workflows that use email to build reviewed artifacts.
People love complaining about the email workflow of git, but it is demonstrably better than any chat program for what it is doing.
I don't think I agree with this. Sure, many things should be versioned, but I don't think most correspondence requires it, which is emails primarily purpose.
Agreed if it is correspondence that we are talking about. So, agreed I'm probably too strong that anything needing filtering and such is bad.
I'm thinking of things that are assembled. The correspondence that went into the assembly is largely of historical interest, but not necessarily one of current use.
