While naming conflicts aren't necessarily always a problem, given that you specifically describe aspects of the problem as a "git for X", you should know that "quilt" is already the name of a popular piece of version control software.
- akarve 7y agoThanks. We were careful to publish as `quilt3` on PyPI, so there are no naming conflicts with the `quilt` patch manager. We are also "Quilt Data, Inc." officially. Our thesis is that blob storage is already "git for data" and the interesting problems, which we're working on in the open source, are to build a cross-functional data portal atop that base.
- JoshTriplett 7y agoThank you for taking that into account; sounds quite reasonable.
