I'd expect to see something like this in the FAQ section: How is it possible to diff/merge Skov program soucre trees?

Just asking, it's definitely possible. I used to work at a CAD company, they did some dev work to do these with building models...

Ideally, Skov would need an integrated version control system that understands the visual code.

But now, all you can do is export your code to text files (Ctrl+S) and use traditional text-based diff/merge/version control tools.

This is the right answer, at least for visual dataflow. It should be done by diff/merge of graphs, displayed visually, not by converting it into a text-based format and using something like git, Perforce, or cvs. Dataflow can be expressed textually, but you'd have a hard time following the code.
