Is it possible/feasible to use git as a filesystem? Like having git on top of ext3. This way I could do a gitfs-gc and there is only one pack file sitting on the disk which is a compressed version of the whole system. I am not interested in a version controlled filesystem, only in the space saving aspects. Thanks, Peter
