FYI I have a rudimentary document storage system developed where I can “check 
out” a document from my app so that no one else can check it out, which 
downloads the file from it’s repository into a temp folder. The user can then 
edit or work with the file, then check it in. It RETAINS the versions and 
detects if the metadata of the file has changed (date time modified) then 
imports a new copy if it has under an incrementing version number.

Thing is, right now I am pulling those files from a mySQL database, and so I 
have to limit the size of the binary. I have a way of sending and receiving 
files and data securely via socket agents, I just need to implement it. That 
would allow me to migrate all the mySQL storage off to real file storage, and 
would eliminate the size restriction.

Right now I am reticent to develop it because things are so slow at work, and 
I’m not sure they would want to use it anyway. But if anyone was interested in 
such a thing, I would feel more motivated.

For an ongoing need like that on a substantial project, I'd automate it:

She works on her master copy, then presses a button.  Done.

The button saves the stack, copies it to the munged name, and uploads it for 
her, even verifying the integrity of the upload afterward (machines don't mind 
the extra work).
