Manila can write XML versions of every changed message to a folder 
hierarchy on disk. They are broken out by Manila site and organized 
by date. So the following file:

Frontier > Guest Databases > Ops > Discuss Archive > 
createASiteManilaWebsiteDiscuss > 2001 > 03 > 05 > 0000006.0004.xml

Represents the 4th edit of message 6 in the createASite site and 
might look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ticket>
	<header>
		<msgNum>6</msgNum>
		<subject>HQ Search</subject>
		<member>Me@KenDow.Com</member>

			</alsoListedIn>
	</header>
	<body>
	{counterMacros.pagecounter()}
	{workspace.sampleSearch (altColor:"beige", flShowSiteNames:false)}
	</body>
</ticket>

Perhaps you could import these XML files into your version control 
system? Note that this feature has to be enabled from the Frontier 
Control Panel. HTH.
