[TxMt] which version control system to take?

[Christoph Held]

How linear is a series of versions? For actual writing (as opposed to coding
perhaps) it would be absolute bliss to be able to decide that you would want
to return to the wording of the discussion three versions previously
*without* discarding the work you have done meanwhile.
Is that possible and how do the usual suspects differ with respect to this?

Many thanks
Christoph
