Track changes to function code

Hi all,

At present when a function is being edited we keep note of when and by who
within comments in the function's code.
Is there, or can anyone recommend, any open source software that tracks
function activity when it comes to edits (not executions)?

I tried searching on the web, but all I find concerns the tracking of data
changes.

Thanks in advance.

That sounds cumbersome.

How about keeping the code outside of the database in a VCS such as git,
Subversion or whatever you are used to using for other code projects?

That will also make it possible easily go back to previous versions if
you should need to some day.

You simply put your functions in one or more .sql files that you
version control using e.g. git.

Once you have written your functions you can put them in you database
using:

psql -f myfile.sql

yes, it is good way

stored procedures are code as any other and there are same rules. Use
files, use a your preferred editor, use makefiles, use GIT
