Versions, introduced in OS X Lion can be disabled using terminal commands as shown here
I had problems disabling it for Textedit. Turns out apps in 10.7+ read preference files from 2 locations -> "~/Library/Preferences" & "~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Textedit/Data/Library/Preferences" (Fecking sandboxing)
When I entered defaults write -app textedit ApplePersistence -bool no it did not write to the containers folder so I had to copy Textedit's preference file from ~/Library/Preferences into it's container folder ( which is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Textedit/Data/Library/Preferences). Only after doing this was Versions disabled for textedit.
Just thought I would share that because I could not get it to work and no site mentioned this when presenting the tweak.
