This sounds rather like descriptions I have read of darcs. It matches
up, anyway, with the darcs line on being "patch oriented".
It is too bad that project stalled out; I found their theoretical talk
about patch algebra and commutativity very interesting. Alas, the FAQ
suggests that they ran into a fundamental problem with the theory thst
they were unable to solve.
