GitMounter: A FUSE filesystem for Git repositories
The presented idea (one folder per commit, as FUSE fs) seems indeed largely impractical.
But there are good uses for mountable "git like" repos. For example for backup systems.

Any plans for kernel version in the future?
That's really good to hear! They got a (well deserved!) 100M investment recently. I didn't know it until recently, but apenwarr made some of my favourite tools (sshuttle, bup) and now tailscale! If you come across the podcast again, please post the link, I'd love to listen to it.

Borg vs Duplicacy (not Duplicati or Duplicity)?
I like duplicacy because of the way it keeps the chunks in the file system, without a special database. This makes it scale up really well no matter how many backups you have (you can even have multiple computers saved). It's kind of beyond weird how you select what you want to backup with the symlinks (using the command line version), looks more like what one would make for himself in a weekend (not that I'm complaining about free software!) but it's been without bugs for me and extremely efficient. In contrast duplicati has a perfect interface, it's well maintained and everything but bogs down in any large backup, has stories about people recovering for weeks for a very few local TBs and I've experienced for myself this, granted in the python that is checking the sha256 checksums of the backups but it makes it slower many times (possibly hundreds of times), nobody checked from 2013 to 2021 (or did it on tiny datasets like 1GB or was content to wait for weeks even on something small-ish)?
