However, this falls down pretty rapidly. In order to get reasonable diffs, the data has to be sorted, and line-oriented. Also Git just doesn't scale well to larger repos or individual objects.
Otherwise, we see the competitors as the way that people distribute data today - custom APIs, zip files full of CSV, etc.
From my quick inspection, it looks like Noms shows some focus towards working in multiple branches, whereas Datomic, at least in its marketing materials, just talks about preserving a single timeline.
I guess the above means that Noms does scale to larger repos... Do you guys have any numbers, comparisons, benchmarks against git?
If so, it would be useful to include in the readme.md as it would be kind of a big thing, and quite attractive to many people.
