DVCS integration via users pace file system

Eliot Miranda-2
Hi All,

    has anyone investigated integrating with a dvcs through a user space file system (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace) such as Fuse or Dokan?

SqueakFS for Mac OS X exists but is tied to Python.  A native implementation would be a good test for the FFI.

Good grief - this is a pretty straight copy of the old RISC OS idea of arbitrary file systems that provide access to ‘other things’. Cool. Now if only someone would make sensible application directories and a snappy UI we’d be well set.
