I did exactly this and use it as a "file system adapter" on my WordPress installation (to handle uploads/media). I tried to submit it as a plugin but they said "no" because I can't use "git" in the name -- and fuck that. So, I'm the only person on earth that does this (AFAIK).
Do you have this plugin available anywhere at all? I can't say it'd fit my workflow or anything without knowing more (so don't go out of your way!) but I'm very intrigued in to how it works
