This option may work some times, depending on how old docs are.  
Some times it is just easier to rewrite everything up.  This is easier 
when, for instance, a big amount of big changes are being made. I really 
prefer writing a new article/chapter/section rather than changing long 
lines and big paragraphs.

On the other hand, this is what I do the most.  I'd pick this way if there 
are a big amount of small changes.  For instance typos, adding/removing 
just a few lines, or changing words. I'd pick this way to make a small 
amount of small changes too. In general, this is what I do the most.
