Hallo Robert,

I've mostly the same requirement for a friend with a PHP webshop and started to implement my own git_export with the additional feature that it tries to reuse already exported trees as hardlink targets instead of writing the same file again. (I'm aware of the dangers of hardlinks.)

See also the current mailing list thread: "[Request] Git export with hardlinks".

Beste Grüße,
