So some server that can be setup simply by pointing it at a Git repo somewhere. It then perhaps make a local (transient) clone - just as a cache. Perhaps reads some further config info from a standardised file in the repo. Then joins a decentralised network and publishes that git repo to it.
It would be good if one of the bits of meta-data in the git repo could be a (optional) list of native git sources of the repo.
Would be a really nice add-on over git.
Bonus points if the P2P service can also cache and do content-addressable distributed caching of the git objects over (willing) nodes. Though, perhaps that kind of feature is precisely why radicle does /not/ use existing git repos as its storage?
