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

I haven't looked at it closely, but there is a GitFS:

(I am pointing you to the Git Wiki, so that you can find more pointers
should you not be happy with this one.)

Thank you.
This is was I was looking for. My motivation is whether it is possible
to run a system, for example Debian on a computer on top of gitfs,
and then have a huge mirror on it, for example a complete 252GB
Debian mirror as space efficient as possible.

I wonder how big a deltified Debian mirror in one pack file would be. :)
