[ge-talk] file versioning

[Ari Haviv]

well I have seen a graphical diff program but it would probably be too
complex for video and I can't even imagine audio

This was my dream. In a photo app you have an undo history. Now every
change would be saved as a new dot version. So now you have unlimited
undo even after you close the file or send to someone else.
You draw a triangle. then you think "maybe it will look better to draw
a circle on the right or a square on the left. So you fork the file
and have one branch with the circle and the other with the square. You
decide the circle branch looks better so you continue with that and
draw other other shapes. Later on you send the file with all the
versions to your partner and she says 'you know, I really think it
would be better with the square." So she follows the square branch,
keeps the other shapes and changes and throws out the work on the
circle to create a new image. Ah now that works.
