Having worked with repository managers and the implementation for various 
formats on Nexus for years I think such a format is a bit like Bower. It is a 
registry format that in turn points to git repositories that have the content.

You also cant simply make a copy of the content or analyze it in the way it 
manifests as binaries. 

I am not sure what you are looking for as benefits but from my point of view 
this is maybe a fun experiment but not something that will ever take off..
