svn - Are there good ways to have branching documents repository? -

I am interested in doing the following work, I want to maintain a master copy of a document, and then for that document There are branches in which minor amendments may be included, I should amend the branches of this document, which should be merged with any change with the larger document.

This is like a "template" and being able to update that template immediately. What are the good tools to do something like this? Can it svn? (You can assume that documents are only text files, no fancy format.)

Yes, svn Can this There is no difference to SVN whether it is managing source code or other textile files. It can not be ideal if you are adding 2 documents under the document, but I think that in the case of any SCM system There will be a conflict.
