Re:Collaborating with LaTeX and git by morpher on Friday November 23, 2012 @10:17PM (#4824428)
If you have collaborators that aren't fluent in latex, it can be useful to generate an output file (e.g., pdf) that contains marked changes.

I really like latexdiff[1] and a script[2] for making it easier to use with git. The generated pdfs have new text underlined with blue wavy lines and removed text struck through with red lines.

It doesn't properly show bibliography changes when using bibtex, but that's understandable.
