I don't know why this idea keeps coming back up as GSoC project. Its too difficult, that's why nobody has done it yet. Everyone wants to do it. Unfortunately its incredibly difficult to layout the object data in a way that the stream can be broken and restarted.

If you are new to Git, its unlikely you would be successful with this particular project.
