I think developing input files to keep up with LilyPond versions _is_ natural 
to Git. Snippet versions which are compatible to a certain older version of 
LilyPond are legitimate 'historic references'.

Accessing them in parallel isn't natural, that's right. But it could be made 
manageable. On Github for example you can access files on different branches 
through different url paths.

I don't want to say that it's dead easy, though ...
