A developer or sys admin would use it to keep track of changes a site owner would do via ftp/sftp. We made it for this specific reason. Track everything! :)



So is this intended as a single user sort of tool? I'm curious how merges, conflicts & branching would interact w/ a tool like this, or whether it's just intended as a way to implement a versioned file system essentially where files can be rolled back to previous states.


Currently it follows a single branch. The merge strategy is to merge with local changes taking priority over remote ones but this can be plugged-in. Rollbacks can be done by copying from history to current version. The only thing shaky thing is when there is a force push because local commits will be pushed back.
