This option may work some times, depending on how old docs are. Some times it is just easier to rewrite everything up. This is easier when, for instance, a big amount of big changes are being made. I really prefer writing a new article/chapter/section rather than changing long lines and big paragraphs. > Or > > Is it better to commit the large amount of changes to the document > in question. On the other hand, this is what I do the most. I'd pick this way if there are a big amount of small changes. For instance typos, adding/removing just a few lines, or changing words. I'd pick this way to make a small amount of small changes too. In general, this is what I do the most. -- Jesus R. Camou sku@anarquia.net
