So this is allowing remote git repositories to be treated as a regular filesystem. I really cannot think for good use-cases for this.

Maybe to use existing file-based indexing and search tools? I must be missing prime use-cases here.

Browsing source code of third party libraries that you're using?

This could be especially nice with some debugger integration, if you could just step into a library function, and have the corresponding file opened via hubfs...

Just………clone the repo?

Yes, and then locate the correct file in it etc.

Or, we could just have the computer do it all for us.
