If you go back in the thread, you may find a link to a gitfs client that somebody kindly posted. This client pretty much defines the transparency I'm talking about. The only problem is that it's read-only. To make it really useful, it has to support versioning locally, disconnected from the server repository. One way to implement this, could be by committing every update unconditionally to an on-the-fly created git repository private to the gitfs client. With this transparently created private scratch repository it should then be possible for the same gitfs to re-expose the locally created commits, all without any direct user-intervention. Later, this same scratch repository could then be managed by the normal git-management tools/commands to ultimately update the backend git repositories. BTW: Sorry for my previous posts that contained the wrong date; it seems that hibernation sometimes advances the date by a full 24h. Has anybody noticed this as well?
