Hi,

has anybody experienced with git to version control and share containers? I 
know that git by itself can not store all necessary semantics of the file 
system. But there are tools like metastore to fill this gap:

pristine-tar can store the delta between a git tree and a tarball, so one can 
represent anything that tar can represent.

Regards,

Thomas Koch
