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 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.
