Bram Cohen is awesome, but this feels a little bare. I've put much more thought into version control ([1]), including the use of CRDTs (search for "# History Model" and read through the "Implementing CRDTs" section).

That's worth making a separate post! (and I recommend rendering it to HTML)

But "bare" is part of the value of Cohen's post, I think. When you want to publicize a paradigm shift, it helps to make it in small, digestible chunks.

Is this the Bram Cohen who made bittorrent? There is surprisingly little information on this page.
