My top level being that it's a VCS (like Git) specialized for binaries; with commands baked in to prevent the slowdown that often comes with large git repositories.

Specifically, it's for ELF binaries built in such a way that adding a new function or new data does not break however they cache existing functions/data.

I wonder if this concept could be extended to other binary types that git has problems with, were you able to know/control more about the underlying binary format.
