Show HN: Gitfs – mount Git repos as local folders
I think this kind of file system would do well to power platforms that AREN'T for programmers. While this may not seem useful for programmers (because they are so involved in git usage in the first place), I think others might benefit<p>I've had the idea to make an interative design/architecture plugin for programs like photoshop/3dmax/etc rolling around in my head for a while now. Git is a perfect way to store/save the progress people make in those programs (as files change over time, or as they save), and gitfs seems like it would be the fs to run on the backing server.<p>Instant branching (like when an artist decides to riff on a new idea), undo/rollback, progress tweens/reports.
