Would like to package it then.

    Lore was previously used internally for UEFN (Fortnite islands) under the name Unreal Revision Control.

    Key innovations:

    • Content-addressed storage + chunking (efficient for large files)
    • Merkle trees + immutable, cryptographically verifiable history
    • On-demand hydration / sparse workspaces (donโ€™t download everything)
    • Extremely scalable by design (files, history depth, branches, concurrent users, teams)
    • Free branching with low overhead
      CLI-first + rich API (bindings for Rust, C#, Python, JS, Go, etc.)
    • Desktop client available (binaries provided)

    It is centralized (like Perforce) but modern and designed to scale without the usual pain points.

    Lore Pros

    • Outstanding performance with large binary files (far better than Git + LFS)
    • Designed for massive scale (data + teams)
    • Tamper-evident / cryptographically strong history
    • Efficient storage and transfer (chunking + on-demand)
    • Backed by Epic Games + already battle-tested in production (UEFN)
    • Fully open source (MIT) and free
      Self-hostable server

    What isn't is what I asked. Git cannot do this. People would pay for this.
