Thanks for the information about VCS's. I agree CVS is outdated, but
we use it mostly for legacy reasons --- all of our codebase is in CVS
along with papers going back many years. For my other projects, I use
git or mercurial as a VCS.
My question was originally more oriented toward handling Org-mode
files with collaborators who don't use Org-mode, regardless of the
VCS. Those collaborators are only comfortable modifying the LaTeX
document itself, and checking in changes to the LaTeX document won't
update the Org-mode file.
There have already been a few good suggestions, but if others have
some system worked out, please chime in :).
Chris
