So does git. I know, I know, git doesn't provide the features you expect from a full fledged database, but neither does Dolt.

Dolt even has some content in a GitHub wiki, which uses git as a database backend for a web app: https://github.com/liquidata-inc/dolt/wiki

Amazon has an internal k/v store with branches (as well as schema versioning and hierarchical keys). It was primarily used for config management, which it excelled at.

Datomic also has change history, and you can query against a specific point in time afaik.
