I just want to add that I had personal experience in December 2011, when Tunisian National Constitution was writing their internal regulations, and it was a big mess for them to manage differences between versions. Probably very easy to solve problem for IT guys (especially in the open source world), but for politicians it was not obvious at all. The image below is a short explanation written in french that I've shared on that time on Facebook, and there is even one of our actual MPs commenting on it.
