17 years ago I wrote this plugin for Rails 2 to version database tables.
At the time it scratched an itch for a simpler alternative to acts_as_versioned. It was even used in Github for a little while IIRC.
17 years later what I can't understand is why a steady stream of people are still forking it. It's a rare week that goes by that I don't get a notification. 2 in the last day or so.
What's the game here? I can't think of any legitimate reason to fork a 17 year old plugin for a truly ancient version of Rails. So… what's the payoff?
