And something very similar: "Using Git as a versioned data store in Python" by John Wiegley (similar to 'shelve' which uses database) http://www.newartisans.com/2008/05/using-git-as-a-versioned-data-store-in-python.html http://github.com/jwiegley/git-issues/ And similar solution for Ruby http://github.com/georgi/git_store by the way of GitHub Blog: http://github.com/blog/374-git-as-a-data-store-in-python-and-ruby P.S. When there would be next round of UGFWIINI contest? -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git
