The files that make up a SharePoint deployment are called "The Hive." SharePoint uses a content database behind everything, but it also relies upon files heavily. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14 ...is an example of a path to Hive files. Logs in the Hive show off error messages. Often error messages will be really opaque and one will be given a Correlation Id (guid) to use in finding the "real" error at the logs. ISAPI in the Hive has .dll files. In "Template" you may find the .aspx files and mess with them. Versions of all files are kept in the Hive but the versioning can be flaky. It's not subversion.
Note: Workflows have Correlation Ids too, but they are used for something other than the Correlation Ids of errors.
