Helpful info for me: VersionPress is a free and open source version control plugin for WordPress built on Git. We increase major version numbers quite rapidly, e.g., VersionPress is at 3.0 at the time of writing this, but that does not mean it is production-ready.

We try to be very clear about the project status. We would love it to be magically stable soon but unfortunately, there are no shortcuts. Relational databases and (sometimes) crazily coded WordPress plugins do not fit well into the version control workflows, but we're already quite far in terms of the core technology and I'm confident WordPress will be a fully versioned platform one day.

The 'merge databases' feature sounds like either a sweet victory of immutable data that makes life easier all around OR something truly horrible that never should have been born. If these guys have solved the WP devops problem, they will be millionaires and candidates for canonization.

We're still in the process of solving it but I would be against the rest of the sentence :)
