Virtual file system

Instead of using an app or terminal to access your version control, a Virtual File System(VFS) lets you browse your computer like normal. Displaying files and folders from the version control server. When you open a file, it downloads the file on the fly. So you can access large repos without having to first download everything.

e.g.

• p4vfs
• Plastic SCM / Unity version control has a VFS
• GVFS: Git Virtual File System
• gitfs : git & Android
• microsoft VFSForGit (Archived), surpassed by scalar, which moved to microsoft-git
