Hi,

I'm thinking about using Git for web application deployment and thought that I wouldn't even need to checkout a worktree if I could access the bare git repo via fuse.

What would be the performance impact? Once the files are in the filesystem cache it shouldn't matter anymore, how fast the git fuse layer is, should it?

Do you know any active and stable git-fuse project?

a) https://github.com/davesque/gitfuse Python, last commit 1 year ago

b) https://github.com/mfontani/git-fuse-perl Perl, last commit 3 years ago

c) http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cse400/CSE400_2008_2009/websites/grant/project.html http://repo.or.cz/w/figfs.git thesis, OCaml, last touched in 2009

d) https://github.com/rossbiro/GitFS Python, recent but declared pre-alpha

e) https://github.com/patrickhaller/git-fs C, last commit 2 years ago
