Document revision control

[Böðvar Björgvinsson]

Hi Amy,

I have used Subversion / Tortoise SVN extensively and it has never failed
me. The last couple of years I have been using www.assembla.com's services
to. Assembla offers hosting of your files using SVN or GIT and maybe some
other options too. Assembla seems to me a very reasonable option.

Kind regards,
