Ask HN: Using a version control system for your resume?

I often come across advice to have different resumes for different types of companies, and to continue making it up to date. As a living, breathing document, is it a good candidate for applying a VCS to? For instance branches for different resume types, but sharing common content. What are your thoughts on applying version control to your resume? I don't think this idea is an original one, but I don't see it mentioned much.
