Concerning distributed version control systems on Safe; I also think it is smart to focus on the very popular Git, but best also to keep an eye on Pijul. That seems to be a better match technically, because the same change in the controlled data causes more underlying data (that has to be effectively stored) to change in Git than Pijul, if I understand it correctly. I know HappyBeing is already aware of Pijul, but could be informative for others who read this.
I wonder if it could be useful to use inotify on Linux in another, simpler implementation of a file sync solution between local storage and the Safe Network. Inofity can probably only be used for syncing local file and directory changes to Safe. Not in the other direction. It seems interesting to me to maybe try something with inotify on Linux, in combination with python (Safe bindings).
