hahn-kev made a really good comparison, but it can go a step further. Not only can you query the data at some previous point in time, but you can even run a join across old and current data. If you look at it from the perspective of commits and working sets, then the working set is just the "current" commit, and commands implicitly target the current commit. We give you explicit control over which commit is being referenced, so there's a lot of power in the model.

Recovery is a valid use-case for version control, but fully applying it to data opens up possibilities that haven't really been explored before.
