I personally think it is too early for you to ask that question; until you set up a workable workflow around bup or a combination of bup and git, get used to its use, and find out what the real pain points are if you used only git without bup, that is.

Efforts to tweak tools by people who are not yet familiar with the tools they are trying to use unfortunately often tend to go in wrong directions and become wasted effort.
