Title
Encrypted Git storage
Goal
Provide filesystem-like encryption facilities within a Git repository
Description
The Git version control system is widely used, and has been extended over the years to serve various purposes - for example, it's possible to cryptographically sign a commit. It would be useful to be able to encrypt some files within a repository - e.g. if you have files containing secret keys within a project that only some contributors should have access to. You could draw ideas for this from the Git-LFS large file extension, and from encryption extensions in Linux filesystems.
