CVS in itself certainly isn't overkill. One of its guises (Tortoise
on Windows) is so pleasant to use that I use it routinely
for such simple things as day to day version of a log book,
indeed a single file.

Things will become more complicated, then you may be happy
that you did it after all. And maybe I can use it as a starting
point for a public ciforth cvs version.

What I would advise is to just store the starting point (in this
case lina) as version 1.0.  E.g if I fetch version 1.0 of lina,
I get a working version of good old fig-forth.
If I fetch version 1.0 of my Dec Alpha ciforth, I get some i86
ciforth. Version 1.0 of renesas ciforth is some 6809 ciforth.
(An indeed versions 1.12 is the first version that is even
accepted by the renesas assembler.)
In this way all diffs are present in the archive.
