gollark: And you need to store metadata somehow or be really inefficient.
gollark: Also, you can't really do compression.
gollark: Your actual application code either can't look at revisions very well or has to deal with git for it, and merge conflicts can happen and then your application has to either just shut down and bother the user or try and deal with the stringly typed interfæces of git somehow.
gollark: Lots of these things just dump all notes in a folder of plaintext files and use git for sync/revision control, but I feel like this is a horrible system which is prone to badness.
gollark: minoteaur, coming never, will eventually never include an actual dedicated synchronization engine, to deal with this.
