At the very least you would have a lot of chgrp/chown work to do after a
"restore".  Git stores file mode, but not ownership information, ACL's
or extended attributes.

I found this out when I tried using git to backup part of BOINC
development server.  Various files and directories had to have different
ownership and extended attributes (for SELinux).
