As a music producer who has been working with various DAWs, I've always been super jealous that programmers have git. Not just for version control but also for collaborations.
I always thought, it must be possible because sound is just a list of samples (numbers). Kind of like how a binary executable or assembly code is just a list of values or instructions.
Unfortunately most music software and plugins are proprietary as this industry did not have the same political movements (GNU, F(L)OSS, OSS, etc) that the computer industry had and most professional software has been created for professionals by companies.
It's interesting though because software like Ableton Live has an unlimited undo history but since it is proprietary one can't really look at it.
