This is a really neat idea. I'm not clear on how OSTree uses git, however. Are you updating cloned workareas from many upstream source repositories and then rebuilding into a new root filesystem or are you keeping a global "every file in the filesystem" image. That is, are you storing binaries in git?

GUADEC: Work in the pipeline for GNOME

There's bits of documentation on how things work:

https://live.gnome.org/OSTree/VCS
https://live.gnome.org/OSTree/Ostbuild
http://git.gnome.org/browse/ostree/tree/src/libostree/REA...

And these are all derived from my original README file which is here:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/ostree/tree/README.md

I've been trying to move that last one into individual wiki pages, but it's probably the best overview from a "hacker" perspective still.
