You may not have meant to say that, but that is exactly what it 
sounds like you asked for.

No one said that these version control systems won't version 
anything except for code written in USASCII.

Do you realize that you have changed your requirements at least 
two times since you started this thread?

At this point you would probably answer your question faster if 
you used all this time and energy to actually test out the VCS 
systems available instead of arguing with what we are telling 
you.
