So what's the best way to do it instead? And why is the current model so bad?

Very cool, looks like I may get a Mac soon then :)

Heh, I don't need file-diff specifically. I just want to see for example this file was last changed on Tuesday, and be able to pull up the Tuesday version.

Re:Ask HN: Why Haskell? on Monday March 31, 2014 @12:16PM (#7502352)
How do you do documentation in Haskell? For Python and Clojure, there's docstrings. For Java there's Javadoc. For Haskell, there doesn't seem to be any well-established documentation practices.

This is of course not counting the occasional comment explaining why/how you're doing something convoluted.
