Tahoe as git remote

[Jean-Rene David]

Yes thanks, I'm aware of git-annex. It is neat and
I use it in some contexts (i.e. for images and
other largish binary files). But here what I'd
like is not storage for files external to git (as
git-annex does) but storage precisely for git's
objects database.

I'd like to do:

$ git remote add grid tahoe:myproject
$ git push grid

Or:

$ git clone tahoe:myproject

I'll look at git-annex's code for inspiration but
the more I think about it the more I think the git
people may have suggestions.

Just wondering if anybody here had felt the same
need and maybe came up with a solution.
