Came here for a five-gallon bucket hooked to Dulwich (archiving rain?), Slightly disappointed :)

Go Git and Dulwich and friends are indeed fun tech.

Most of the pain here is the typical set of issues people run into trying to make S3 a filesystem as-is, common with S3FS-family approaches.

ZeroFS (https://github.com/Barre/zerofs) is 9P/NFS/NBD over S3 on an LSM. Point stock go-git, or just /usr/bin/git, at a mount and skip the gymnastics. Rename is a metadata op in the keyspace, so you get it atomic on any S3—no Tigris-specific X-Tigris-Rename needed.

Different point on the spectrum, but less square-peg, also most probably much, much faster (it works great on linux-sized repos) :)

Author of the article here. I'm aware of ZeroFS and other similar approaches (such as something internal at Tigris that will become public at a later date), this was more of an experiment to see how far you can get with stuff I already had "on the shelf". I am going to be improving this a fair bit; I just need to plan out what I'm gonna work on and figure out the best times to stream it, etc.

If you want to store a git repo on S3, you can that with git-annex[1] today. It can do client side encryption and large files as well.
