+GeoGit is a distributed version control system specially designed to handle
+geospatial data. GeoGit draws inspiration from Git, but adapts its
+core concepts to handle versioning of spatial data. Users are able to import
+raw geospatial data (such as Shapefiles, PostGIS or SpatiaLite) into a
+repository where every change to the data is tracked. These changes can be
+viewed in a history, reverted to older versions, branched into sandboxed
+areas, merged back in or pushed to remote repositories.
