Have one space per version without doing includes on revision numbers.  
Basically copy all documents in a space when a version is released.


Yes, using some sort of batch copy/export-import to a new space should work 
fine.  I thought of it about a minute after sending the email. Hate when that 
happens.

I guess you could implement some hadhoc version by storing all   
versions of each document in a given space and implementing some save/ 
restore based on this. It looks overkill for your need though.


Well, not only do we have product versions, but we have component versions 
within the product that aren't reflected by the product version.

But, rather than complicate things with component based versioning, I can just 
setup xwiki control pages that query the response parameters, and include the 
correct component documentation based on that.

Anyways, that was everything I needed, thanks for your time.
