Well, no. It doesn't keep track of who supplied the computer you wrote the 
code on and the model and serial numbers of every component in it, which 
paycheck covered the time period when you were writing the code, the log of 
the call from the customer that asked for the feature that this line of code 
implements, the original estimate for the code, who was assigned to design 
the feature that line implements, the list of customers who own computers 
running this line of code along with their phone numbers so you can issue a 
recall if the code is dangerously incorrect, etc etc etc.

Revision control systems only keep track of revisions.
