Maybe one option would be to host a WebDav share with the Delta-V extension (RFC 3253) backed by Subversion. An alternative to Subversion might me NextCloud which supports automatic versioning and WebDav, but I do not know if it supports versioning through WebDav.
To expand a bit on the issues of the solution above, the problem with WebDav/Delta-V is that very few servers and very few clients suport it and it is also dificult to find documentation on whehter it is or isn't supported by a piece of software.

I also desire an easy solution to this usecase.

Here is more information about WebDav/Delta-V: https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/programming_tool_gui...
This part describes what you and I desire with caveats: https://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/programming_tool_gui...
Here is a discussion on why IIS never implemented it: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a9bf95b1-36ac...
