Every little open source software project uses version control systems
these days. The IETF does not. And interestingly, the IETF even likes
to standardize this stuff (look at the WebDAV RFCs). Personally, I
liked CVS and I do even more appreciate SVN these days (which is
actually a superset of WebDAV).

I would love if the IETF could _offer_ subversion services for WGs who
want to use this. It would be nice to be able to simple modify a
document and post the diff in a common format instead of the arcane

OLD:

NEW:

format which really boils the ocean if you have to rename/rewrite
something throughout a document.

If the IETF needs all RFCs in plain text, why would it not also need
plain text for version control?
