I have a database of Change Requests. For every change that I make I record what was there before the change, what I've changed it to and why I made the change. I also record the version number where this change was shipped. If the change involves program code then I'll add a comment cross-referencing back to the Change Request.
As an example, I've just shipped version 03.11.026 for test incorporating changes up to #000257:
"Add txtComments to frmShopSales and append that text as a new line in the [Despatch note] memo field."
It's tedious but I do it because I know it will save me time later. Especially when I the client changes their mind and I have to undo the change a month later.
