Looks pretty practical to me? Here is a described situation:
Developer A made a change which adds feature X and makes a button blue.
Developer B made a change which adds feature Y and makes a button green.
Now the system does not allow both feature X and feature Y at the same time. Our options are either drop X, drop Y, or expend more effort/programming time to make a version which includes both X and Y.
The description above applies equally well to Unison code CAS system and regular program in git. Sure, one is at the file level, and other at the function level - but you still need same kind of tooling. You want to look at the changes and somehow produce a merged version.
