Better ability to collaborate and deal with revisions of documents gets a big
thumb-up from me!

Sounds similar to some conversations I've had with Bradley Kuhn about
round-tripping between git revisions and ODF track-changes.

That seems like a much more targeted goal -- perhaps a checkbox one could
click? (either in preferences or in the save-as dialog)

So it sounds like you have at least two enhancement ideas here. I'd suggest
that you focus on one, and open other enhancement bugs as needed for specific
ideas about integrating LibreOffice with git storage.

I really do like the idea of "Save-As -> Git commit", especially if LibreOffice
could do smart things like fill in some default metadata and stub-in a commit
message using information from the changes made to the document (e.g. "Changed
23 cells in table '2014 Gross Sales'")

Severity -> enhancement
Status -> NEEDINFO

(please change Status back to UNCONFIRMED when you focus the enhancement
request)
