Sounds like a good starting point. Then updated git may be of great use to merge in corrections, no need to read full document, only what have been changed since last though a little bit more complicated since ideally it should not produce a difference for the corrections, only there orignal document changed. Read story in news paper from another country a year or two ago there it made impression it might had come from a bad translation, it did not fully make sense but cultures are different and have no possibility to check, only found a little bit about story on other place of Internet. However a little bit hard to talk about since it was about a horrible crime.
