OOo has that, see menu Edit.Changes
Thanks Eike! I was trying to look for it but couldn't find it.
That's even better. Then all the infrastructure for supporting
a full blown SVN integration are there on the UI side.
I don't think that it is better. Change tracking does only work on the
text content of the document (IIRC), a version control would work with
the xml representation of it and so would be able to track *any* change
in the document, like inserting graphics, editing macros or metadata etc.
Change tracking is a nice an easy to access tool but it's not a complete
replacement for a real version control system. So it depends on your
needs which of them you should use.
Best regards,

My intension for openoffice and svn was to implement a situation where
multiple people could edit the same openoffice document, in much the
same way that multiple people can edit source code of a large
application. svn would provide the central repository, with openoffice
being the client. The new features needed in openoffice would be for it
to resolve conflicts that can occur if two people edit the same
paragraph at the same time and then try to commit. Openoffice would have
to display the conflict and I though that the best way for it to display
the conflict would be with redlining.
