Generic Version Control: Configurable Versioning for Application-Specific Requirements

Summary: Analyzes MVCC and Git as conceptually convergent, mapping nested transactions to the Git commit‑graph and exposing their logical/physical commonalities to enable a configurable, application‑specific versioning substrate. Proposes GenericVC: a unified MVCC/Git design that rethinks conflict resolution and reconciliation to reduce aborts, avoid app‑layer round trips, and support new hybrid use cases.
