gollark: Admittedly I may just end up reimplementing half of what git does anyway, but I feel like I could probably have a simpler task-specific version with fewer problems.
gollark: I don't really *like* git, or specifically much of its CLI and some of its design.
gollark: So it could download a manifest file, see "hmm, this is version 1247.-006.3a and 1248.3033030.æææ is available, I must now update these files".
gollark: I would probably just go for automatically generated machine-readable changelogs of some form.
gollark: *Currently* I can't do half of those because there's no actual versioning mechanism, and no way to compile stuff because it is all run straight off pastebin.
