RoboHelp Server 8 - compatible with "source control system" ?

Question

Greetings,
Using RoboHelp Server 8, is it possible to add in a "source control system," such as Subversion or Bazaar, to track updates and versions? Is there another "source control system" alternative?
Also, is there a hosted RoboHelp Server 8 option, where Adobe provides, sets up and maintains the server hosting the RH?

Hi again
Well, sort of. Note that basic WebHelp and FlashHelp are capable of being merged. This allows a search to occur across the merged set. As I said earlier, merging can be automatically enabled or disabled in the RoboHelp Server. So theoretically, you could turn off merging at the server. Then you could publish ten projects. Perhaps you want two of those projects to be isolated islands where search only occurs in them individually. But for the other eight, you want a search to be performed across the eight projects. You could create a standard merge in this case and publish to the RoboHelp Server and have a search work across the eight merged files. You could also open each of the eight individually and search only that file set.
At least that's my understanding of how it works. Perhaps fellow Adobe Community Professional and fellow Adobe Certified Instructor John Daigle will pop in and offer some clarification if I've muddied the waters.
Cheers... Rick
