+
+The vc bundle
+-----------------------------------
+This is a script based approach to version control for TeX
+documents. It works more reliably than keyword substitution
+based approaches, since it tracks all files in a working
+copy, not only .tex files.
+
+The vc bundle works with LaTeX and plain TeX. Currently,
+Bazaar, Git, Mercurial and Subversion are supported.
+
+
+What's special about the vc bundle?
+-----------------------------------
+* Common version control packages for LaTeX use keyword
+ substitution to access revision information. That
+ approach doesn't work reliably in the presence of
+ non-.tex files, e.g., graphics or graphic sources that
+ are processed by an external tool.
+* The author is unaware of any alternative version control
+ packages for plain TeX.
+* The author is unaware of any alternative LaTeX version
+ control packages that support Bazaar or Git.
+
+
