This is a good solution if you're not running a version control system, but in my experience it's a good idea to use version control for Web/software development.

Sure, developers and designers require training to use tools like CVS, but you could have a nightly job update the CVS repository from a working directory to reap some of the benefits of version control without people having to learn new skills.

There are good CVS clients available for a wide range of platforms. CVSWeb lets you find out who changed what, when and why without needing any specialised software.

If you can't use CVS or some other version control system, your scripts could be useful, but I believe you'd be better off with a more generic solution.
