   @pony yeah I guess people saw which way the wind was blowing.
   
   I feel like it's a pity more people don't try entirely new and radical approaches to source control just so we could see some new ideas floated etc.

     @ljs @pony Well at the same time experimenting on source control doesn't seems that great of an idea, like at best you end up back to tarballs if you screwed up something.

     @lanodan @pony yeah but if your early experiments are clearly marked as such and people know that 'hey this might fuck everything up' then fine.
     
     Same with filesystems.
     
     Some filesystem maintainers are more jesus like than others though

     @ljs @pony Although could be interesting to have like a neat way to incrementally and safety backup at least the history, possibly with a lowest-common-denominator format like CVS or email-patches in Maildir.
