You could still use Git/Magit it but it would need some setup.  You
could, for example, instruct `backup-directory-alist' to assign backups
a special directory, make it a Git repository, and instruct Emacs to
commit each new backup automatically.

I guess you might be able to use VC instead of Magit and your VCS
instead of Git to get something similar.

Michael.
