has anyone made a read-only FUSE filesystem for a git repository where every commit is a folder and the folder contains all the files in that commit?
the idea is that you could just run `cd COMMIT_ID` and poke around instead of checking out the commit
and maybe the branches could be symbolic links to the commit folders?
guys this is such a fun idea I cannot believe people are in the replies trying to explain to me why they think it is impractical
the whole point of computers is to do impractical things and see what happens
seems like the answer is yes!
- https://github.com/fanzeyi/giblefs (fuse implementation in rust where every commit is a folder)
- https://orib.dev/git9.html (for plan 9)
would love to hear about any others
@b0rk I thought there were some FUSE for git repo tools mentioned in Git Rev News https://git.github.io/rev_news/archive/ but I could not find any (sources are in git, on GitHub, so it is easy to search the whole archive).
I found list of links on archived old Git SCM Wiki, but I wonder how many of those are still alive:
