How to store versioned data?

Question

C++ / C#

It is necessary to organize a service very similar to VCS. You need to be able to commit files, get the content of them, lists of files / directories, create “branches” (only create, merging is not necessary), and so on. All this for many users.
The data will be both text (XML) and binary (InDesign files). 100-200 GB may well be typed.
On top of all this will be a web interface.
Scaling is not a question, one server will be enough.
What is the best way to organize such storage? Base on top of any technology? Database? Or is it worth writing your own solution?

Answer 1

Realistically, it's probably easier to wrap it in a local git repository and use it as a layer and that's it :-)
Why do you need to write a bicycle in this situation? git works very fast, it is written quite optimally in terms of the final data storage.
I would choose just api level + web access over any satisfying versioned repository

Answer 2

I would definitely use the file system as a file storage and a DBMS for storing versions, branches, etc. Because large binary files are involved, I would not use any VCS - they are text-oriented.
