Does GitLab have any plans to implement a git server that does not rely on POSIX filesystem semantics and gets away from the need for NFS?

It seems like a git server storing objects in an object store would allow the GitLab SaaS to scale out better.

GitLab does have a plan to try and mitigate the bulk of pain generated from hosting lots of git repositories against a POSIX based filesystem by abstracting a layer of caching functionality and horizontal scaling. This project is called Gitaly[0] and is being tracked on GitLab.com
