The vc bundle
-----------------------------------
This is a script based approach to version control for TeX
documents. It works more reliably than keyword substitution
based approaches, since it tracks all files in a working
copy, not only .tex files.
The vc bundle works with LaTeX and plain TeX. Currently,
Bazaar, Git, Mercurial and Subversion are supported.
What's special about the vc bundle?
-----------------------------------
* Common version control packages for LaTeX use keyword
substitution to access revision information. That
approach doesn't work reliably in the presence of
non-.tex files, e.g., graphics or graphic sources that
are processed by an external tool.
* The author is unaware of any alternative version control
packages for plain TeX.
* The author is unaware of any alternative LaTeX version
control packages that support Bazaar or Git.
