"very expensive VCS for office documents"

You think so because you never tried to explain to Office users how to use a VCS to manage documents - they can't grasp it (the lack of good GUI tools for most VCS doesn't help, unluckily).

Actually, recently we collaborated with another dev group inside the company, at another site. We asked them to create a branch for our code, so they could promote it on their own branch as they saw fit.

The answer was that they didn't want to make things more complex using such features... they commit everything on the trunk and nothing more...
