And something very similar: "Using Git as a versioned data store in Python" by John Wiegley (similar to 'shelve' which uses database)

  http://www.newartisans.com/2008/05/using-git-as-a-versioned-data-store-in-python.html
  http://github.com/jwiegley/git-issues/

And similar solution for Ruby

by the way of GitHub Blog:

P.S. When there would be next round of UGFWIINI contest?
