Hi folks,
in several discussion with people eg. on office software fronts,
I've seen the value of having an git repo in one file. For example,
an office document, internally consisting of several files (like
ODF) could be put into an git repo instead of zip. That would
give a good basis for things like versioning, etc.
IMHO, zip (without compression) could even serve as container.
What do you think about this idea ?

We have had the same idea before to implement this for our software.

There is something like that in the form of git-bundle.
Perhaps it could be (ab)used to what you want.
