This sounds similar to what git over ipfs folks wanted to do, but they ran
into obvious scaling problems. It works fine for small repositories with a few
dozen commits, but once we're talking millions, the process of doing anything
with such remote starts taking hours and days.

If you're interested in a decentralized forge solution, then Radicle has the
closest to something that is working. You just have to ignore all the crazy
cryptoblarf web3 stuff.
