I love the idea of syncing git commit history with data change history, like using git for a repo of data. It's actually quite possible if you use pretty printed JSON as a record format (or other simple linear text formats).

I explored more of this "git as DB backend" in some places including: https://github.com/dosyago/sirdb

Also, just as a headsup to any folks, the SF version of this "tree map" (Heh) is at: https://web.archive.org/web/20230328192805/https://bsm.sfdpw... (O site and archive seems to be down)
