What is btrfs?

  As far as I can see the only difference in this perspective that btrfs can't do merges or rebases. Though for the simple usecase mentioned on the site I think btrfs is well suitable too (website deployment with easy rollbacks).

  BTRFS is a next-gen filesystem for Linux, if you've heard about ZFS it is sort of similar to that, but with a Linux friendly license. It will probably start to be the default in Linux distros "shortly". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Features https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Btrfs#Features
