It sounds like you want a version control solution.  A spreadsheet is
definitely lacking.  I suggest you use Git:

http://git-scm.com/

It's supported on a wide range of platforms, efficient, and relatively
easy to use for basic work.  It also does not require that you set up
any kind of server, unlike another popular alternative named Subversion
(SVN).  You can keep everything right in your workspace.
