Sweet. It’s kinda wild to me that this hasn’t been done. Would be so much nicer if gitlab/forgejo/gitea/… supported object storage for everything. Currently you always still need a filesystem for git repos.

It has been done. It is no longer done because it is not efficient.
Yes, it was not "object storage", but Git can be served from a dumb http server as static files. Now someone figured out that object storage can also serve static files via http. Wow!
Nice. I saw some git-on-durable-objects projects but I'd so much prefer a straight object storage option.

Next: replace whole-file hashes with a Merkle Patricia tree hash and enable BitTorrent-like distribution protocols on top, not to mention the deduplication advantages!

"Finally delta objects should be stored as their own object in the packfile instead of slapped onto the end of the object it’s a delta of so that you don’t have to read the object and its deltas to read the object in the first place."
Author thinks that delta encoding is there for no reason. Good luck, kid.
