git db
decentralized data storage in git
This project is planned as something of an Acmeist project, with implementations in several languages planned.
The Perl implementation is mostly to sketch out the ideas.

See Git-DB on github for now.
It is hoped that a C version can be completed in parallel, basing itself on libgit2 and therefore being a lot more portable, embeddable etc. This will be key for, eg, integrating with SQLite etc.
A Javascript binding would probably be dependent on a REST-like server API accessed via AJAX or similar.
This refers to the Django REST framework as well as a "second pass" of the Perl implementation in a more strict language.
These implementations are important for the embedded port.
