Well, if you're able to *not* set 'hard' values of any ids in your code,
then the serialization ( dump ) of a stack is not a problem, no ?
and then, you can use any CVS/SVN/BZR tool to manage your versions
in a very subtle way.

I've done that for an old project, but didn't serialize ( export ) all
properties, only a few.... but it did work !
