The repository would contain documents like that, but I'm wondering what thoughts the OP had about how a mail structure would map to a graph structure. Each commit could represent the addition of such documents to a list of documents. Would it be the addition of exactly one message? Or each commit could be changing the entire content of the repo to be that document.
Would mail threads map one-to-one to branches?
- unqueued 5y agoGit is a really great format for email archives, because it provides free duplication and compression via packfiles, although I think it is a tilting at windmills to try to map specific commits to emails. I explained my git/imap workflow in another comment here. However, git is perfect for calendars. It is used as a backing store for these caldav servers: https://github.com/jelmer/xandikos https://github.com/jelmer/xandikos https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale https://github.com/Kozea/Radicale
