There is a somewhat-low-priority project to add an optional filestore backend to hledger-lib (which would introduce support for Git, Darcs, and Mercurial). Presumably when ledger 4 is rewritten in Haskell, it could do the same thing.

I'd certainly be interested in a git-backed hledger. I store my files as:

main.journal # Include $year.journal
$year.journal # Set the year, include $year/$month.journal
$year/$month.journal # Sorted by effective date then by account

in git. Having hledger do auto-commit when things balance would be great since the commits tend to just have messages like "Receipts up to $date" and "Reconcile with $account up to $date" anyway.
