Been mostly on the sidelines on this one, mostly because I didn't have time to think about it.
I think node versioning is a potentially "killer app". Having a fully automatic document versioning system at the .leo file level and node level would be a turbo boost in project organization and development tracking, a fine-grained full-fledged document history. At this level you could truly be able to see a piece of software unfold and develop in ways that aren't foreseeable with manual operation. I think it would also provide robustness to the concept of "undo". Being able to "undo" node level edits at any time and location is an awesome idea. There are potential statistical and visualization concepts that can aid development as well. I'm going to have to agree with Terry. In this context Fossil is a backend. The concepts of document/node versioning need to be abstracted to fit Leo and then a backend can be plugged into what Leo is trying to accomplish.
