I've used "git cat-file --batch" in many places via pipes.
Git.pm provides a convenient interface for it.
It handles requests like "$REFNAME:$PATHNAME" so it'd be
pretty easy to map FS-like paths to it.

"git fast-import" is also nice if you need write access and
nowadays has "cat-blob" functionality similar to the
aforementioned --batch.
