The idea of writing a file name handler for versioned files is on my
todo list for years. Alas, I haven't been motivated enough to start, and
I'm also not a specialist in vc in general, or git in special.

But I have 15 years experience in using file name handlers in Emacs. If
you need any help to write such a library, I would be glad to support
you. Just ping me, if you believe it could be useful.
