well they can probably include a better storage layer.

at the moment you can just setup multiple mount points, but I guess it would be superior to actually setup a moint point or object storage. I'm pretty sure that you can put git into something like s3.



s3fs? ;)

A) I think it would be kind of difficult to store git on S3 (the magic would be in the caching / consistency layer to keep it performant)

B) it would make sense for their customers that run on AWS. However, many of them just run on a single VM / physical server.


well I just said s3 since it's the best known, but I guess it would be feasible to run on object storage. I heard that libgit2 can actually change his storage layer..

Edit: and I heard github uses gitrpc.
