This already exists. The Moodle VPL plugin I use has transparent version control.

Man, VPL is the weirdest combination of old and new. It works, though, I'll give it credit for that.

I know I personally wouldn’t want to work with a crippled online editor when I have a perfectly good IDE on my desktop.
