Any suggestions? Git over IPFS?

• mbrock 11y ago
  It's an interesting topic but I don't have much to offer. IPFS seems neat as an object store. Sign your commits and throw them into IPFS and you're good? Given a persistent distributed object store, it seems less obvious how to publish projects, refs, and pull requests. If you hear about "Rails", you want to be able to find the actual consensus Rails repository master branch in a trusted way. Some semantic data on https://rails.org/ https://rails.org/ maybe? Then the namespace for repositories is just the DNS namespace... But that's just one way of getting the data; any source you can verify should be fine. So a signed message by a trusted Rails maintainer published somewhere. I was imagining a kind of NNTP reflog with PGP signatures....
