Posts can be grouped in many ways in WordPress but there is no direct version control system. This plugin offers a lightweight solution if you want version control for a group of posts.
To make this work you define a keyword for each version control group you want to create. Then use that keyword as a prefix in the post name of each post in that group. The plugin will sort out the latest post automatically and label the rest as outdated.
It also let’s you have a URL that will always point to the latest post of that version control group. That way you can give out the URL to others and be sure that your visitors will always be viewing the most recent post.
This plugin will automatically:
<ul>
<li>Define if a post is part of a version control group. </li>
<li>Search and locate the latest post by publish date.</li>
<li>Label the older posts of the group as outdated.</li>
</ul>
This is especially practical for bloggers that often revisit older subjects and have to do the linking with the updated posts manually. Or if you are like me and publish material that has versioning applied to it (ex. software) through a blogging platform.
<h3>Usage</h3>
First thing you should do is visit the plugin’s options page (“Settings” -> “Post Version Control”).
There you will find two fields:
<ol>
<li>
The keyword list field, where you enter all the keywords you want to track seperated from each other by a comma and a space “, “. Each of them defines a different version control group.
</li>
<li>
The path for the latest posts URL. By default the path is “/current”. So if we have a keyword named “ajax” the URL: http://www.myblogaddress.com/current/ajax will point to the latest post of the “ajax” group.
</li>
</ol>
To link a post to a version control group of posts all you need to do is enter the keyword of that group as a prefix to the post_name of that post. So in the group “ajax” mentioned earlier all posts in that group should start with the “ajax-” prefix. An example list of that group of posts might be:
<ol>
<li>ajax-first-post</li>
<li>ajax-updated-version</li>
<li>ajax-latest-news</li>
</ol>
..and so on.
The plugin will automatically look through your posts of the same group and label the older ones by inserting an <!– outdated –> tag. This is replaced by the content of “outdated.html” in runtime. This is an example of how you can style your outdated tag. Just insert it along with your other styles:
<style>
p.outdated{ 
 border: dashed 1px #f00; 
 background: #eee; 
 color: #f00; 
 text-align: center; 
}
p.outdated a { 
 color: #f00; 
}
</style>
Uninstalling should be pretty easy too. The only left overs are the <!– outdated: … –> comments in the old posts content which of course are ignored when viewing the webpage. If you don’t mind that you don’t have to do anything else apart from de-activating the plugin through your WordPress administration.

Subversion Informations is a plugin for WordPress, designed to provide informations about local SVN repositories. 
It can make use of WebSVN to offer the current version as a direct download.
To display information in your postings, you can make use of one of the new [svn:<element>@<repository>] tags.
Features
<ul>
<li>Informations about current revision, author, date and log message</li>
<li>Admin panel for easy usage</li>
</ul>
See it in action on <a href="http://bitrage.eu/scripts/bitlbee-manager/" title="bitrage.eu" rel="nofollow ugc">my site</a>. (Sorry, text is german only… but you get the catch!)
<h3>Usage</h3>
To display information about a SVN repository in one of your texts you just have to insert the [svn:<element>@<repository>] tag in the desired spot.
The element can be one of these:
<ul>
<li>head for the current revision</li>
<li>author for the username of the last contributer</li>
<li>date for the actual time of the last change</li>
<li>log for the user provided message</li>
<li>box for a predefined box containing all four of the above along with a download link (using WebSVN)</li>
</ul>
The repository can be either a full path (i.e. /home/user/svn/repo) or just the name of the repository (i.e. repo). 
This of course is according to the settings in the admin panel where you have to set the base path of your repositories for the name-method to work.
Example: 
 The current version of my program is [svn:head@/home/user/svn/program]. 
or 
 The current version of my program is [svn:head@program]. 
This is only working when the svn base path is set to /home/user/svn in the admin panel.
As of version 0.7 there are additional attributes which you can set for each repository inside the tag:
<ul>
<li>[svn:<element>@<category><repository>] (With a specified WebSVN category. *This also works with the full path tag.)</li>
<li>[svn:<element>@<repository>/path/path/] (A subdirectory for the WebSVN download. This does not work with full path tag.)</li>
<li>[svn:<element>@<category>*<repository>/path/path/] (Or a combination of both…)</li>
</ul>
Please note that in version 0.7.1 the separator for category and repository changed from a dot (.) to an asterisk (*) to allow paths with dots in it. (Bugfix for Josh, thanks for reporting!)
If you want to show the full box, you better insert it between paragraphs and not in the middle of your text, as it will bust your format. 
Also it is a good idea to use a wider theme than the default one to get the best formated box. 
The result is shown in the screenshot section.
<h3>Limitations</h3>
<ul>
<li>The Plugin is limited quite a bit in its current form, as there is only support for the current (HEAD) revision.</li>
<li>Also the use of WebSVN is mandatory to get a working download link.</li>
<li>Subdirectory download is only possible if the full path tag isn’t in use.</li>
</ul>
