Actually, while I wrote my original request making it sound like it's for me, it's really mostly for my wife whose working literature and has trouble managing the umpteen versions of documents she writes. She's had no real trouble understanding the notion of "commit" (with CS-RCS) and when she heard of things like concurrent "development" and merging she seemed interested rather than scared. So I know such tools can be very profitable to non-programmers. > Another important stuff is that an office document should be an > all-in-one package. While I can't think of any situation where I'd want to use such a thing, I'm sure there may be good use-cases for such "revision-info inside the document". It's a completely separate problem. AFAIK OOo already supports this. > Stefan and all, FYI: http://svk.bestpractical.com/ > SVK is a front-end program for subversion which provides local mirror > of any svn repositories.

But just like Monotone, Mercury, Git, Svn, CVS, etc... it's no use to my wife until there is support for it directly from OOo. This said, OOoSVN may provide just what I need (tho it looks like I'll have to port it to Mac OS X).
