I'm not real keen on having a date in the filename, either.  I hacked
the date completely out of my changeset writing code (in
ChangeSet>>fileOut, imagine that), and now just increment a manual
version count whenever I feel the need.  At a glance, MuSwiki3-5.cs is
more informative to me than anything like 04May98MuSwiki.cs.
