Please could you explain why? Trackerless bittorrent is just as decentralized, and seems more scalable.

Does trackerless bittorrent provide a way to update a file ?

The git objects themselves are content-addressable (the key is the hash of the value) but you still need a unique ID that references the HEAD of this chain of objects. This id needs to be updateable.
