One place I worked used source control, kinda. They had an old system, sccs, and they used to pull together patchsets into zip files, name the zip after the (unique) bug number it addressed and put the zip into the vcs. Here was then a lotus notes database that recorded what the fix was for, what version it applied to, other pre-requisite fixes before this patch... So painful. The graduate software engineers they took on actually developed fear and nervousness of vcs and tried to avoid it as much as possible. That was back in about 2002...
