Dear fans of Git,

a while ago I announced the UGFWIINI contest, a glorious battle of ideas
how to

	Use Git For What It Is Not Indended

[...]

Number 2:

At the GitTogether, Sam Vilain presented his idea to use Git as a DB backend:

	http://utsl.gen.nz/talks/git-db

Just think about it: committing by "INSERT INTO"!

And something very similar: "Using Git as a versioned data store
in Python" by John Wiegley (similar to 'shelve' which uses database)

  http://github.com/jwiegley/git-issues/

And similar solution for Ruby

by the way of GitHub Blog:

P.S. When there would be next round of UGFWIINI contest?
