gitfiles_ctx 0.1.post4

Context manager providing a file-based view on a remote Git repository.

This…will likely take some time to mature. And is a hack.

The broad intent is to provide a Git repository context at the file level (over SSH). In essence on entering the context, a path to an ephemeral cleartext tree (top of master) of the remote repository will be returned, and on exit that same tree will be removed.

Intended use is for system configuration data maintained and managed via Git – ie update the data in git and the dependent tools reconfigure to match when they run, sort of using Git as a hacky etcd.
