This sounds completely off-base. I don't understand why you would want
to use a source control system for a simple large file share. NFS was
designed for this stuff, as was CIFS on Windows. It is the reason ACLs
and group membership exist.
It's also sounds completely non-orthogonal. How would a source control
system deal with group membership and directory permissions?
Unless the original post is talking about controlling access to source
code. In which case I missed that.
