Another idea would be to use https://www.authorea.com/ which uses latex.
I had a look it was not for me, but it allows via a git plugin to use an
external editor and to push and to pull. I have not looked into its
track change functionality but may be it is worth a try.

Interesting, I chose mercurial and never had a problem. When I had a
look at authorea I thought about switching from RCS to git but found it
to difficult for, mercurial was much easier and has a git plugin which
works nicely.
Mercurial also as an annotate functionality (supported by emacs) which
is nice and comes close to a change track (but of course it is linewise
not wordwise).
