Yes… Perhaps the most useful for you suggestion Ive seen in this thread is to look at git. If you do you will find that a. git has to do a great deal more work than you expect to factorize out content-tracking from file-tracking b. Yet it can get it wrong Look at snapshoting file systems http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapshot_%28computer_storage%29#File_systems like winfs (cancelled) and btrfs Slightly more practical may be timevault http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/timevault.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
