Since Wil Shipleys presentation "Git as a Document Format" (AltConf, 2015, [1]) the idea of using git to track data has stuck with me.

Cool to see another approach at this.

From the first look, I miss the representation of data as plain-old-text-files, but I guess that's a little bit in competition with the goal of getting performance for larger data sets.

Anyway, I am wondering, did somebody here try using plain git like a database to track data in a repository?
