very soon there will be a lot of experience:

That page, as I understand it, describes that the source of ooo is being
moved to svn. In other words, the developers can collaborate on the
source development of OOo project. That is not what I meant.
I wanted to know if an OOo document (e.g. a Writer .odt document) can be
hosted on svn so that multiple authors can collaborate at the same time.
the normal odt documents are zipped files, so they look like a binary
file to the outside world. Without additional scripts it would not be
possible to use them directly in a text line based repository. Only the
whole files, but that's certainly not what you want.
For the help source files, we use an XSLT filter to import and export
them in an XML format. That works fine line by line in a CVS system. The
system holds the XML files, and they get opened, edited and saved from
OOo. Should be possible with odt also, using an appropriate filter that
extracts and saves plain XML text with proper linefeeds and tags.
