  • gitfs

    Version controlled file system

  • https://github.com/presslabs/gitfs/blob/cf92acc1fdb0bf93d599...

    So it'll be tracked as a rename (renames in git are tracked heuristically anyway, as long as they're part of the same commit).

  • VFSForGit

    Virtual File System for Git: Enable Git at Enterprise Scale

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • git-fs

    fuse + libgit2

  • Webconverger uses https://github.com/webconverger/git-fs to manage OS upgrades, to roll back or even branch for particular client needs or testing.

    I don't know of any other systems that can roll back as easy and fine grained as what Webconverger can.

  • git

    A fork of Git containing Microsoft-specific patches. (by microsoft)

  • VFS for Git was superceded by https://github.com/microsoft/scalar and then many of the features were merged into mainline git, so what is left now is a thin shell around git features in the form of MS's forked git binary: https://github.com/microsoft/git

  • git-annex-turtle

    git-annex-turtle provides Apple Finder integration for git-annex on macOS, including custom badge icons, contextual menus and a Menubar icon. It is free, open-source and licensed under The MIT License.

  • I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted.

    It's different from git-annex in that it's using git itself (git-annex just uses git to track metadata/hash to facilitate large files), but there's a similarity to git-annex's 'Git-annex Assistant' in how it "any subsequent changes made to the files will be automatically committed to the remote".

    From a brief experience with git-annex, I've been finding the experience of having things automatically 'synced' to be confusing, and think it's real power may be in evolving it's user interface to be pervasive, akin to projects like https://github.com/andrewringler/git-annex-turtle

  • mvfs

    ClearCase file system

  • Since mvfs is a Linux kernel driver, it is open source. Here is a git mirror of it: https://github.com/msteinert/mvfs

    I'm not sure how easy it is to use with anything that isn't the rest of the clearcase suite
