We had a similar discussion a couple of years ago here, under the

The jist is that application-level versioning (and consistency) is
completely orthogonal to filesystem-level snapshots and consistency.
IMHO, they should never be mixed together - there are way too many
corner cases and application-specific memes for a filesystem to ever
fully handle file-level versioning and *application*-level data
consistency. Don't mistake one for the other, and, don't try to *use*
one for the other. They're completely different creatures.
I guess that is true of the current FSs available. Though it would be
nice to essentially have a versioning FS in the kernel rather than an
application in userspace. But I regress. I'll use SVN and webdav.
Thanks for the advice everyone.
