[ncc-services-wg] Pre-PDP discussion: "All published documents and PDPs are maintained with git"

I agree. If we want something then we should specify *what* we want and give the NCC the freedom to choose an implementation that fits both the needs of the community and of the NCC itself.

I personally would like:
- a word-by-word diff (not line-by-line)
- being able to see the diff between a RIPE document and any RIPE document version that preceded it
- being able to see the history of a document with or without the policy proposal versions in between
- for every RIPE document change I would like to see what caused it (policy proposal, cosmetic surgery, RIPE NCC, etc)
- being able to see the history even for policy proposals that haven't (yet) become RIPE documents
- a pony (optional)

And we have to remember that not all RIPE documents are policy documents. Working Groups and the RIPE NCC also publish other types of RIPE documents.

I suggest we see what we want, and then ask the NCC to give feedback on how they see it, if it is doable etc.
