Beyond the question and reading entirely too much into it, what's the inventor of BitTorrent, out of all things, doing writing version control? Between this and BitTorrent Live, are we going to see something that will blow every model of content distribution, including BitTorrent, out of the water?
If nothing else, torrents with version control would frankly be mind-blowing. Think of a single TV show torrent, which could be updated again and again. Then think of TV broadcasting and content distribution of the program being shown through such an above torrent and an overlay, and ads, being played in on the client-side?
Thinking away the rights issues and DRM, this might be the future of live TV and content distribution.
