Not a direct solution, but for some projects I (mis)use git. And I also 
use it for related Yoshimi sate files as I'm often tinkering with sound 
and then re-consider, but saving different file names is cumbersome.

Yes, git isn't theoretically made for binary files, but the file size 
orders of magnitude are relatively small and the commit metadata helps :-)

Hope this helps,
