Regarding your lix project, have you looked at Fossil? It seems like it could maybe do what you're trying to do with some small changes.

Yes. We looked at all version control systems (fossil, pijul, jj, git, darc, sapling). None provide what we need:

- target the browser

- supports any file format, not just text files

- understands changes, not just versioning of files

- suited to build web apps on top

- ultimately enable 1000's of artists, designers, lawyers, civil engineers, etc. to collaborate

we are 2 years into the journey. dec 16, we'll release a public preview

Interesting! Definitely looking forward to that and I hope you succeed.
