Hi, everyone.

I've written simple pure erlang library
https://github.com/maxlapshin/gitty that allows reading git repo.

It can be used for a website that stores webpages in git backend.

This library is a prototype, because it lacks important features such
as caching repo index in a process,
but it is already faster than forking for a git executable each request.

Now gitty can commit back to repository.

It means, that you can use it with your favorite HTTP framework to
store text pages in git repo and serve it from there.

For example, I'm using it for http://erlyvideo.org/ website, because
it is very convenient for me,
when I can checkout whole website, edit it offline and upload back.

Also it is possible to edit content online and it will be still
compatible with git.
