Newer Delphi versions (including Delphi 2007, which I'm using) have a build in file history feature, which lets you revert to old files from within the IDE. That's nice, but I already have source control. Is it possible to disable this feature?

I ask because the IDE auto-creates a \history folder with old versions of all your files, and that annoys me.
