Instead of arguing the politics over this, I am more interested in the discovery of the revision. How cool is that we were able to peak into amateur version control of over 200 years ago?
Imagine the possibilities of all of the online stored version control of documents and code today. I bet it won't too long before the government publicly version-controls laws (it could already exist for all I know). Then think about some junior congressman who wanted to change the wording of some clause 10 years from now and how in 20 years from now the populace can look back in amazement of how much might have changed if that changeset was never merged and tagged as HR_123. Headlines in 2030: "Researches searching through git histories from 2020, find that Congressman Santos is to 'blame' for the 'Google-Monopoly Loophole'"
