If it's "instantly" it means PoW is useless, and this thing is just a marketing stunt. Who would have thought.

PoW is not only "P" for blockchains.
Yes it sounds like they’re just using Git ;)
Yes, it's like git but access to the repo is defined in the repo itself (using public key cryptography); likely with virtual machine (if it's ethereum, which is likely). There's not much more conceptually there.
That would be (is) a radical transformation though.
