In Grafoscopio's[0] case, what we did was to store notebooks in STON format (kind of JSON for Smalltalk[1]) in a Fossil[2] repository with companion jpegs or other binary files. Fossil allows to store non-versioned binaries (like exported PDFs, where diff have not much sense) and all is stored in a single repo file. See, for example, our Data Driven Journalism Handbook, published at [3]. We have a flexible "%metadata" code node that can store value, key pairs, defining, where the canonical Fossil repository for the outline/notebook would be located and from there, automatize some sync operations.
