Is there a project that does the reverse of this, namely mounting a filesystem where every write to a file in the repository becomes a Git commit?

  You mean like when nothing has the file open any more, or doing a commit with every flush to disk? I think the latter is a bit excessive. One of the FUSE implementations mentioned in this post may do something like that.

    File handle refcounting would be nice to avoid spamming Git with commits, indeed.

    I tried this with mod_dav_svn back in the day and never really managed to convince myself that commit-on-write is a good idea.

  I have been looking for that as well. Some sort of 'implicit versioning', a bit like how version history works for Google Docs [1], but instead for the filesystem. [1] https://support.google.com/docs/answer/190843 https://support.google.com/docs/answer/190843

  doesn't seem like the project is in active development anymore, but there's gitFS: https://github.com/presslabs/gitfs https://github.com/presslabs/gitfs
