This sounds like it would prevent the proper use of version control systems like git, which seems like a terrible idea. Is my interpretation correct?

It seems like it would be better to develop with normal files (and the decades of powerful tools that can operate on them), and then bundle into one file for distribution.

Yes. You are right here. It does takes away from version control systems. But the thing is that this functionality is not forced upon you. You can still choose to code in your real file system, and use Quark only as a runtime.
