s3fs? ;)

A) I think it would be kind of difficult to store git on S3 (the magic would be in the caching / consistency layer to keep it performant)

B) it would make sense for their customers that run on AWS. However, many of them just run on a single VM / physical server.

Edit: and I heard github uses gitrpc.
