That means your application must manage a bare repo on your backend:

an upload would be added to that repo and committed
a request for the history of a file would generate the appropriate git log
access to a certain version of a file would be done through a git show

You have then various choice to encapsulate those git calls, from simple system calls to libraries like libgit2.

This seems to be for C coded projects , is there anything similar for java based one ? thank you for your precious advice. – BdEngineer Mar 13 '14 at 17:09
Yes, that would be the Java library Jgit, used by Egit in Eclipse, but which can also be used standalone in your project. – VonC Mar 13 '14 at 17:14
