It sounds like the author went through a lot of pain to avoid using git+lfs or perforce.
I use git+lfs for unity projects and it works out great. If I had a real studio I'd buy some perforce seats.
Reinventing the wheel like this is quite exhausting. There are options that are proven to work. AI authorship does not fundamentally violate the idea of some thing owning a specific commit. We don't need new schemas in our source control system. "Provenance" is a bullshit word used to make the AI sound like it's some kind of oracular source with superhuman capabilities.
From my experience Git LFS is extremely brittle and will break your local check out if you so much as breath on it wrong. Perforce is an expensive solution to the problems of LFS, and I've yet to find a workflow as powerful as my git workflows for managing code.
I don't really see what the article is talking about as the future, but if P4 or Git LFS is the best we can do as a species then we're doomed. All VCS options suck for one reason or another, I hope we don't stop trying to make something better. If only to save me from perforce.
