A VCS should be as easy to use as a "FlashBack Machine" that creates automatic snapshots. There are some based on symbolic links that are very efficient. The user would manage his files as he always has. Nothing new to learn.
And to that "FlashBack Machine" add a layer of conflict resolution just in case several users work on the same document.
If it doesn't already exist, someone will end up doing it, although I guarantee that its use will be minority... because the important thing is to make it difficult and thus guarantee that hierarchies are created (control over the creators and therefore over what is created).
