Nice idea. But when taking commits as folders one should delete, add and remame files in the folder and that is not possible in a commit because it creates another commit. So I think this is nit the right mental model

Files and folders can be read-only, a concept that has been around for about as long as the folders abstraction itself.

and with fuse and webdav you have the power and a possibility to implement your own handler for deleting and renaming, that could do all the tricky git related parts.
