Right, but is there an actual use case for people who are developing
code to use something like git over p2p? Maybe I'm just being
unimaginative, but I can't see a case where people are working on the
same project and can't find a way to push/pull from each other using
the existing methods. Especially since it's easy to sign up for free
Git hosting and use something like Tor to pull/push from there. Or to
set up your own git HTTP server on a Tor *.onion server.

To me, the use-case wouldn't be because I /can't/ use existing methods,
it's because I /don't want to/ use existing methods :)
p2p tends to imply:
 ..
 - Downloads from multiple sources at the same time

I would add "automatically" and it's a real case for me. I work on the
same project on different machines (each of them has different
resources that I need from time to time). So I clone to all the
machines. If I make a fix in one machine, other machines should
automatically fetch it. It's like a private p2p network with a single
user. If I add another machine to the network, all nodes should be
aware of it, without me doing "git remote add" on each node.
