Make filesystem code pluggable (with interfaces), so jgit can be used as a DVCS for databases.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to use git as the DVCS backend for a large  text database (indexed 
by Lucene). Offline 
collaboration and branching/merging are important in our scenario.

Any thoughts? Would these kind of modifications belong in the central branch 
once solid, or should 
I maintain my own?

First of all, this is not a "Defect" but a request for "Enhancement".

I am trying to do a similar project (use jGit to back a distributed database).

I do not think that JGit should support pluggable storage backends, that seems 
out of
scope. JGit should be 100% compatible with the official Git, offer Java-based 
access
to Git repositories and nothing else.

If you are building a system that integrates Lucene, git and maybe other forms 
of
storage, that integration should happen on top (and outside) of jGit.

But maybe I do not understand what you are trying to do. What kind of 
modifications
are we talking here?
