Ah, I see. So if you're new document was going to be
.../articles/writing-device-drivers/article.sgml
(for example) then you want the existing tutorials/ddwg/ddwg.sgml copied
in to place first.
OK, we could do it. But if you're document is going to be a complete
rewrite then with your first commit you will be deleting all the old lines
and adding in new ones. This isn't particularly useful from a CVS
historian point of view, because the diff will be huge.
Keep in mind that anyone that's in a position to see the history for your
new document should be in a position to see the history for the old document
as well. You might want to include a URL to the CVSWeb interface for the
old document in yours.

That's good news. Perhaps we could use this article to prototype the new
mechanism for including OS version specific information in the documentation?

Nope, go for it.
