Perhaps you should look into rcs and/or cvsup, this will allow you not only to
see who have done changes to which files, but also keep the changes and old
versions around without wasting much space for backup, because only the actual
lines, which have changed is saved.

cvsup will also allow a very quick update, because again only the changed lines
are transmitted from staging server to live server.
