    If I controlled a paper, I’d force a git control system with publicly viewable edits made after publication.

    Imagine the goodwill and trust that would instill in the public toward your paper.

    Edit: I’ve thought the same thing about proposed legislation for a long time.

      I think many have also been wondering about version control of legislation/law documents for some time as well. But I never understand why it’s not realized yet.
