Thanks for following up!

I have snapshots (hourly/daily/weekly) on my ZFS shares, but that doesn't fully replace the versioning that I was looking for.

Thanks! I'll take a look at it again. I remember at one point you were considering using something like git as the format for diffs but weren't sure, did you make any progress on that?
