[speaking mostly to the proponents of git-as-a-backup-tool]

While at it, you should invent a fallback what to do when the owner is not 
present on the system you check out on.  And a fallback when checking out 
on a filesystem that does not support owners.

And a fallback when a non-root user uses it.

Oh, and while you're at it (you said that it would be nice not to restrict 
git in any way: "it is a content tracker") support the Windows style 
"Group-or-User-or-something:[FRW]" ACLs.

Looking forward to your patches,
Dscho
