Using git for manuscripts

[yoavram]

I think it would be interesting to share more of the experience of collaborating on manuscript writing in github.
I find that collaborating with Word with more than one person is a real pain: file versions, track changes becoming a jungle, comments getting lost, version control via email, people forgetting to send (push) revised draft to the main author, people revising the wrong version, merging two different revisions of the same version (branch merge), bibliographies...
Everyone knows this.
How does git+github make it better? You discuss this in Use cases 3., but maybe give an actual example from that project - an event in which the main author asked for contribution via an issue, two authors branched, edited, pushed, and the main author merged. Something like that.
I think that this is where you can really sell git for manuscripts (and of course the draft_v1_v2_221012_final_final.doc thing...), even for non-programming scientists.

Any updates about this?
