This, it is a very very bad idea. Other arguments against it: - it opens the door to mistake, i.e. you crypt a bunch of file but easily forget about one. - git is often used in public forges.

You should consider any content or communications, you are transferring accross the internet as public as you can't control who is dumping what and when it will be decryptable.
