Subject: Git as a filesystem
Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2007 12:51:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fbe8b1780709210351x30775090ldab559f25c27645d@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi!

Is it possible/feasible to use git as a filesystem?
Like having git on top of ext3.

This way I could do a gitfs-gc and there is only one
pack file sitting on the disk which is a compressed
version of the whole system.
I am not interested in a version controlled filesystem,
only in the space saving aspects.

Thanks,

Peter
