Is it not easier to simply make use of any of the revision control
systems (git, mercurial, svn, even RCS) that are out there? You can
easily tag a particular revision based on milestones and then see diffs
between the current content and any previous version.
In terms of the original questions, I use a combination of hierarchical
structure that is filled in as a project develops, with
revision control to allow me to see progress, together with a log based
recording of activities (e.g. meetings, deliverables delivered, issues
raised). That is, I mix both of the approaches mentioned by John in his
initial email.
The key, as John has already stated, is to record everything! With
emacs, I can usually pull out what I want *if* the information was
recorded in the first place.
Finally, tags can be very useful for quick searching as well.
