Sounds like they weren't even using version control, and had no business anywhere near a project that size.

Lol. That's a really good point, actually.

I add version control around file number 3200...

(I'm kidding. Writing even a couple lines without version control makes my eye twitch.)

Even back in my super noob days, I'd keep known good working versions of the files in separate folders. I basically invented my own terrible source control system before I knew anything about svn or git.
