Besides, you can always use "git show <revision>:<file>". For  
example gitweb (and I think other web interfaces) can show any  
version of a file or a directory, accessing only repository.

Sure, browsing is the easy part, but Version Control starts when  
things become writable.

But... git history is very inherently completely immutable once  
created... that's the only way you can index everything with a simple  
SHA-1.  If you want to write to the "git filesystem" by adding new  
commits then you need to use the appropriate commands, same as every  
other VCS on the planet.
