What it could allow is per-node versioning... but there are better ways
of doing that. Kent's work, for example...

could that become some short of collaborative outline editing for Leo

I've been studying the pro git book: http://git-scm.com/book and

Stimulated by Kent's work with db's, the question arises: is it
possible to represent a Leo outline as a git object?
I believe the answer is yes, and not just in the trivial sense
that any content is a blob:
- Every node's gnx, headline, body text and uA (and anything else)
has a unique (sha-1) hash.
- We could define (git) tree objects that contain the following
entries: gnx, headline, body text, uA, parents, children.
- Empty uA's would be represented by the hash for an empty string.
- Parents and children entries would be other git tree objects.
In this way, we could use git plumbing to build a git tree object
representing an entire outline, with all the data contained in a
.leo file.
In other words, even though git is *content* addressable, the
content can contain gnx's, so that nodes *identities* are preserved.
Don't know whether any of this will be helpful in the current
creative ferment, but I thought I would point it out.
