There are also a number of FUSE filesystems that use a version control
system for a backing. See
http://fuse.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/FileSystems
While FUSE is cool, most of these projects don't look very active.

Then there are admin-oriented tools like IsiSetup and metastore.

These don't work at the file-system level, but they do add the ability to
store metadata (I long for the day when SVN or Git will store metadata
natively.)
