True, the only benefit I see in a CMS for a one-man show is revision

Good change control systems also help by ...

. Automating the recompile of related programs (i.e., change a database file, recompile all the programs that use it)
. Retaining data on a physical file
. Retaining attributes when recompiling any object
. Rolling back changes if a deployment fails
. Deployment to multiple systems
. RDi integration
