I can't see any particular reason why svn (or any other RCS) would be bad for documents, assuming they're plaintext (PDFs and OpenOffice/MS Office/OpenDocument might be slightly more problematic, since they're binary, but only relative to plaintext as svn and most other RCSs handle binary perfectly adequately). It's common practice for software projects to keep their documentation in revision control along with the software, and for example IkiWiki <http://ikiwiki.info/> (and I believe other wiki-type systems too) uses RCSs as a backend for what is basically documentation (in this case a website, but the file formats are basically the same). -- Benjamin A'Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://subvert.org.uk/~bma/ "To the person who ate the contents of the container labeled 'James' - warning, it was my biology experiment" - from a note on a students' fridge.
