No I realize the circumstances are different (like fewer documents in a process) but some times you don’t notice how your tools actually change your processes.
E.g: if you are in a process when there would naturally be two separate documents it may be that you are creating a single document becuse with the single document the change process works with the tooling.
Or is there something else inherent to the process that says a process/negotiation always includes one document?
I’m not sold on version control either - especially as structured text like word processors have such poor support - but it seems even change tracking in word documents should be able to track and show the differences in a set of documents such as a directory. I’m not arguing those tracking 3 word docs should use git.
