Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a version control system within a social networking environment. The disclosed embodiments perform operations comprising: storing, in a database, application data that is structured as a tree graph comprising nodes in the form of branches connected by respective edges, each child branch being connected to a single corresponding parent branch by a respective edge; generating a first checkpoint identifying a node of the tree graph, the first checkpoint comprising first checkpoint state information corresponding to initial state information of the node of the tree graph; generating a second checkpoint identifying the node of the tree graph, the second checkpoint comprising second checkpoint state information corresponding to the initial state information of the node of the tree graph; merging changes made to the first and second checkpoint state information; and modifying the initial state information of the node of the tree graph based on the merged changes.
