If you keep the offline support, you'll eventually uncover even more fun cases. "I started working on this on an airplane where the wifi was down. But then decided I didn't like the direction it was going and just closed the laptop and took a nap. I spent the next few days working on the document on my desktop. Over the weekend I opened the doc on my laptop and now all of my airplane changes are in the doc and everything is garbled. Help, I didn't mean to merge them!"

Git would never automatically mash your local changes in without your explicit consent. bzr would never have dreamed of it. But things like Google Docs will happily do it.

It's awesome to see all the progress y'all have made! Good luck with early access!
