Yes, it's called commit messages, and together with the log/the diff you
normally get a good picture of who did what.

No, IMHO it's not, it's standard revision control:

Every update causes changes, and you either setup automated commits or
you do them manually. By this step, you can keep your stuff, solve merge
conflicts or whatever you like. Or go back in time.
