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 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 (La)TeX version control packages that support Bazaar or Git. Getting the software ----------------------------------- The latest version of the vc bundle can be found at CTAN:support/vc. Happy TeXing! Stephan Hennig
