Isn't that just git with more steps and harder to share?

It's equivalent to cp -r, but:

  • the copy is read-only
  • reuses unchanged files
  • easier to share (btrfs sub send)

Sounds just like git (unless you do some special operations to change the copies)

With properly configured subvolumes, I'll allow it.
