I totally agree. We have a file for each chapter. We might just keep a trunk based approach mainly, and resort to short lived branches to allow writers to get their contributions reviewed.

Thank you for the advice

This is great advice. I don’t believe we need a “stable” version. I mean, at a certain point our work will be ready and that’s it. We are not going to have different releases. We will have other formats (like a shorter version of this report), but in that case those would live as a different repository I guess

Thank you for your reply! What are the “objects” possibly determining a branch? Features? Chapters? Writers? Releases?
