@paul Interesting. I guess this doesn't make any sense in the world of centrally hosted sites. As in, there's no standard protocol to version file system paths...

@seebiscuit right. In dat what happens is, each write to the log adds a revision number, and that's what we're navigating. And then the log shows us the full file listing.

@paul @seebiscuit Does that have the potential to create conflicts? I.e. can user A create revision 1 at the same time that user B creates revision 1? (Note I don't know much about DAT so may be a dumb question.)

@nolan @seebiscuit No that's a solid question; Dat is single-writer at the moment, so there is no user B.

@paul @seebiscuit Thanks, makes sense!

@seebiscuit @paul I thought dat didn't store previous versions of files (according to https://docs.datproject.org/faq), or has that changed?

@davidar @seebiscuit It's a configurable policy of apps that use the protocol; in beaker we're keeping history
