Support multiple named database roots (branches) per store #97

Closed whilo closed 3 years ago

whilo commented 4 years ago

I think it would be meaningful to allow a git branching like mechanism to fork the identity of the database into multiple named branches. Right now the root is always stored in konserve under the :db key, but this could be an arbitrarily named :branch-name and we provide a forking function. We should also keep track of all the branches that have been created, e.g. in a separate file that is updated whenever fork is invoked.

Sounds like a good idea. Since I'm re-structuring the db record with cleaner configuration we could add this information into the db as well.

We are moving these ideas to our roadmap plans, so I'm closing this issue here.
