I don't agree with the author here. Over the years i read about using VCS to store underlying data, so it's all shared, and you keep the data. Reality is that building a complex source code management platform is not easy. Storing things inside GIT repo and not database would be a huge performance issue when we're talking about scaling such system. If you have 1 repo yeah, it's doable and easy, but if you're talking 100 000 projects that's another story. This problem keeps returning onto HN again, and again. I think this simply wouldn't work for mentioned reason, and few others that come to my mind. And i know a bit about building a source code management platform because I built RhodeCode.
