[git-users] git as database

2009-11-18 Thread Ido Ran
Hi,
I have an idea I would like to hear what you think about it: Is it
possible to use git as a database backend?
I'm not looking for full database with features like ACID,
transactions and views but more as backend distributed mechanism which
on-top I'll put a real running server application ?

Thank you,
Ido.

  see http://code.google.com/p/gimd/ for an example of such database,
that actually does provide ACID (roughly).
