Spatial filtering
Clone, alter and work with a geographical subset of a larger repo.
Full change history
Review, compare, and quickly switch to any change made since the dataset's inception.

Accurately synchronize datasets between systems in seconds. Kart moves and applies a minimal compressed set of changes.
Flexible repository layout
Store multiple datasets per repository, and organize by project or dataset.
Roadmap
File & document support
Version control of files stored and transported along with data.
XML Metadata and License version control
