Jan,
Thanks for the idea, but I don't think this will work. Not only does one
face the ice cream/Xmas tree issue, but one also faces the issue that
entire parts of documents, programs, etc. will be similar but different.
(In Fall for a given week we have Xmas tree, a list of ornaments, and a
recipe for hot buttered rum, and in Spring we have ice cream one week
and cake the next, but in both Fall and Spring we have instructions for
upset stomachs for the weeks in question.)
Essentially, the problem is a two-dimensional revision problem. The
project evolves over time, as most SVN examples illustrate, and this is
one dimension. The project also has parallel versions, and this is the
other dimension.
