JSR 203 is the umbrella under which the new (for Java 7) file API (also known as NIO2) was created.

Other implementations exist over FTP, DropBox, box.com, in memory and a few others.

Is a single JSR203 store with a root per-commit a reasonable design for a Git filesystem layer?
I would like to implement a jsr203 file system for accessing git history. Thus, create a path that represents a file in a specific commit, retrieve its content by letting the file system access the .git folder under the cover and read the history,…
