Although developed for source code management, revision control tools can be
used for any text files that need to be edited and for which a revision history
is required (e.g., source code in any programming language, LaTeX documents,
HTML files, PHP scripts, shell scripts, and system configuration files).
Revision control tools are available for almost all computing platforms and the
principles are all similar. The RCS and SVN tools will be demonstrated on Linux
and Mac OS X. Experience with a text editor would be helpful. Anyone editing
source code, scripts, or documents should look at revision control tools.
