Sweet. It’s kinda wild to me that this hasn’t been done. Would be so much nicer if gitlab/forgejo/gitea/… supported object storage for everything. Currently you always still need a filesystem for git repos.

After Git At Any Scale there's been a lot of these! (https://cursor.com/blog/git-at-any-scale https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49348141)

Nice. I saw some git-on-durable-objects projects but I'd so much prefer a straight object storage option.
