This question Add a version number to the title of a LaTeX document spurred my curiosity:
How do you add an auto-version number in Latex?
( So one is not doing this: {\bf Version:} 1.2 and then later {\bf Version:} 1.2 1.3) ?
If you use Subversion, the above code is an example of what you can do. SVN updates the information as you update the file, but beware: only if you up the containing file. It doesn’t track updates elsewhere in the tree.
However, I get the feeling that this is now considered a bit old-fashioned; the modern trend is to DVCSs, where there isn’t really a valid concept of a linearly incrementing version number.
