Tighter integration with git is very interesting, but this is sadly just integration with github.

I think coupling to github makes sense if you are a building a dev-support service, but for a end user it makes little sense to wed the vcs to a specific website.

The RCloud project covered some of this ground https://cscheid.net/2015/08/17/collaborative-visual-analysis... It takes the view that everything should be saved and versioned. In hindsight it seems obvious that this can overwhelm people with dead ends and scratch work and in general the flat workbook space doesn't provide enough help with organizing results. There are some other ideas mentioned in the conclusion of the RCloud paper.
