The core of this enhancement request is that LibreOffice desktop supports
collaborative editing on a shared document, i.e. saved on CMIS (like Nextcloud,
Onedrive, Sharepoint, Google Drive, Alfresco, Kolab, etc.). 

Whether collaborative editing is real-time or synchronized when saving the
file, is more of a detail. For example, MS Word 2019 (desktop) supports
real-time editing, while MS Word 2016 (desktop) supports only synchronization
when saving the file. Both approaches generally work fine. Synchronized editing
is very similar (or identical?) to Svante's approach.

In terms of server-site support, it makes sense to support at least those CMIS
that LibreOffice Online already supports (e.g. Nextcloud, Alfresco, Kolab,
Zimbra, etc.). I don't know whether it is feasible to support collaborative
editing on Onedrive, Sharepoint, Google Drive, etc.

Bug 76318 is an interesting approach, but it is not a duplicate of this bug
report. The request is very different, because it is about adding git as just
another CMIS protocol. BTW, In office settings, git is often neither available,
nor used nor wished. Files are typically stored in CMIS.
