Just as a quick stab - I was looking at camlistore through last few days. https://camlistore.org/
It may be more natural fit for Leo outline management than git (as it's more about direct content addressable content access than git). I have had sketchy plans of reinventing something like camlistore from scratch, so it's something I will be looking into anyway. On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 3:46 PM, Edward K.
