Git and GitHub do commits on pretty much any file type for writing, although it works best with plain text. If you write in Microsoft Word, it'll work, but you won't be able to see your past commits on the command line or in GitHub.

Yes, and TortoiseSVN supports diffing for Word and Excel really well, by invoking those app's native document comparison functions (not sure about PowerPoint).
