Hmmm, I used to do it before getting around the idea of using a VCS...
I have, for example:

deviantART-WhoWatchesYou-1.0.user.js
deviantART-WhoWatchesYou-1.1.user.js
deviantART-WhoWatchesYou-1.2.user.js
deviantART-WatchingYou.user.js

or stuff like FooBar.java-1 (to avoid auto-compiling of .java files...)

It is already an horror for small or one-file projects (search *.js, get 4 times the 
results. Which is one of the reasons for going away from SVN too...), I imaging for larger 
projects!

Now, I have to rename the -1.0, commit, delete, rename -1.1, etc. to get a half decent 
history... (but incorrect dates) :-)
