I'm curious what features of git you find helpful for this purpose. The
history log doesn't seem useful at all. Generally mail is only added,
and sometimes deleted, never changed, so it also does not seem useful to
keep multiple revisions. If you really want that though, rdiff-backup
will do that and keep the old revisions delta compressed.
I use Maildir instead of mbox and do a nightly incremental backup of the
whole system with dump, so any mail I might loose by accident I can pull
from the backup if it is older than a day, and I never delete mail.
