Where Diversion is native today
- First-class conflict objects — also a TOVIO v1 design target
- No staging area — also a TOVIO v1 design target
- Binary parity (no LFS bolt-on) — also a TOVIO v1 design target

Diversion vs Git vs TOVIO
Diversion is a cloud-hosted version control service aimed at teams with large binary assets, such as game studios. Here is how it compares with Git and with TOVIO's design, row by row.
How to read this
native / first-class partial or workaround not supported
Diversion and Git cells reflect a 2026 snapshot of each tool's publicly documented behavior and will change as those projects evolve; where another system genuinely leads a row, the table shows it. TOVIO cells reflect the v1 design target — TOVIO is pre-1.0, unpublished, and not yet independently audited. See the launch gates and what ships today for current implementation status.
