I'd be curious how well this performs with files that are changed often, and if the disk space needed to store snapshots of all the changes would grow a lot over time.

IIRC git stores copies at first - so interactive time performance is great. It later compresses a set of files into a pack - so long-term space performance is great. It's like the perfect partner - at least, from afar.

  Sure but this will still run into issues e.g. if you are editing a Photoshop file with autosave enabled.

  Minor nitpick: The files are initially stored with zlib compression. Each "commit" stores the entire file. The compression into a packfile is where the diffs between files are computed and stored.
