The primary focus is, indeed, archiving (and replaying and sharing, with ease) states of data. Merging has been explored, but nothing concrete on it yet. Even something relatively simple, like merging code, often requires a human to resolve (sometimes with real effort). Imagine trying to do that with filesystem snapshots of database files.
We are exploring it. We have some thoughts on higher level understanding of data that might make it possible.
But definitely starting with the basics, as you said.
