Forgive me if my comment too readily reveals my ignorance on these topics, but would the IPFS project [0] be useful for this?

Definitely, checkout their example on how to host git on ipfs[0]

While integration between git and ipfs is good -- I'm not sure I see how this is much different from just tar-ing up a git-archive and creating a torrent/magnet (setting aside many of the other aspects of how ipfs and torrents work).

Decentralized git pull for only a given hash isn't all that interesting?

If one could pull in updates and/or push changes -- that would be "decentralized git". This is example is more "ipfs.io as a transport for git-releases", rather than "ipfs.io as a transport for git"?


There is this script I worked on to help doing that:
