I mean, I’d say a markdown / latex / typst document in a Git repository would fit the bill.

I’m working on a history project at the moment which has reconstructed the version history of the US constitution based on the secretarial records and various commentaries written during the drafting process. At the moment we’re working on some US state constitutions, the Indian constitution, Irish peace process and the Australian constitutional process. We only have so many historical records of the committee processes, but it turns out to be more than enough to reconstruct the version history of the text.

Fascinating, what tools are you using to keep track of all that? (Also, are there any interesting practices involved here?)

		All custom tooling. I should write it up at some point - there's an awful lot to say about the whole thing, both technically and historically. And the data shows that there are several things apparently taught in American schools (like the idea that the final text is a compromise between the Virginia plan and New Jersey plan) that are simply wrong.
