You cannot obviously get back a change that has been saved over by a
newer version. Those changes are gone forever. You can label your
current version with the date either by hand as part of the filename, or
with v.timestamp / r.timestamp. Then you would need to archive or
otherwise copy away the original version if you wanted to have access to
it in the future.
The *.timestamp programs are pretty simple, it is really up to you to
keep good metadata notes. See also the "hist" meta-data files for raster
maps (all versions) and vector maps (in GRASS 5.7).
