OTOH, my experience with non-technical people and revision control is:
they send you an email with the file attached, saying they promise
they will learn the tool one day, but not right now because they don't
have time, and then you have to find out how to merge and commit
yourself.

And unfortunately (also from my experience), this is not limited to
non-technical people ...

For this category of people, a simple web-based commit tool will not
teach them anything (which is bad), but at least reduces the work of
the technical guys (which is somehow good).
