I have a technical question that I'm not at all poised to answer, that might be stupid like all questions not in one's domain:
I recently discovered the joy that is ZFS and everything that comes with it. I understand that the technical underpinnings of git are actually extremely different (and mathematical) _but_ just how far is a ZFS snapshot from a git commit really? It seems like the gap between the two might not need a huge bridge. Could a copy-on-write filesystem benefit from more metadata that would come from being implemented in a more git-like way?
