The advantages of git over sqlite as a storage backend are that git is
not transactional, would provide less flexibility in data layout, less
flexbility in efficient access (things like indexed lookup), and has
a more impoverished data model than monotone anyway (no certs, no
changesets).
So... barring some new argument I'm missing, it's probably not worth
considering for very long :-).
