Does this work? Is it viable? Is it going anywhere? #4

Hi,

I came across this after reading https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2015-October/009594.html and googling for "git-remote-tahoe".

It looks like the code is incomplete - just a start, really. Did you give up on this idea? Just run out of time? I think it would be cool to be able to push a git repo to a tahoe-lafs grid but maybe you discovered something that soured you on the idea?

Hi there,

Yes, like many of the repos i put on GitHub, it is an unfinished proof-of-concept. I still like the idea.

One of my design goals there was to reify the git dag as lafs immutable directories/files, so that people could browse/access the git history directly without this tool. That would most likely have really slow performance, but i still like the benefit. ;-)
