I don't mean to add to the reading list, but it sounds like anybody interested in fleshing out a GUID-based patch theory would enjoy reading about the Commutative Replicated Data Types research. As the Operation Transformations people at Nancy explained to me, this was the result of years of trying to come up with a good story for conflicts in the OT world, giving up and thinking about about a GUID based approach instead. It sounds a lot like what seems to be happening with the Darcs world. The folks in Nancy say they've implemented this by hacking up a version of the MediaWiki engine. More details on the bibliography. http://wiki.darcs.net/Theory/Bibliography Maybe there's something to learn from this work? -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
