Curious if you had any use cases in mind.

For example, if an Elixir Phoenix application managed a lot of documents, could this be a solution rather than using, say, CouchDB, for tracking changes? Seems it could be a great solution for keeping documents out of your application’s main git repository, but still be able to share access (with master or a branch) during development, even when offline.

I assume one would use a different package if the git repository was hosted on GitHub, because of things like access control.
