I am running a subversion svnserve process on my work laptop, a win2000
machine. As a client I have tortoise svn. I then use subversion to manage
version control on my m$ word documents.
It was the binary diff ability that made me decide to do it that way rather
than just keep lots of versions of the document file around.
