I am working on a similar tool started from a filmmaking need to source-control large binary files. The current (semi-implemented) design is that each file or collection of files can be assigned a step in a pipeline and version controlled separately, and steps can be defined as dependencies of one another. This makes it possible to add "compute" steps that do not track any file but instead run a task, achieving a similar goal.
