git9 - A Git file system for Plan 9

[Tuxman]

Now this is awesome. Finally, Git has at least one advantage over Mercurial.

(Basically, you'll "mount" your Git repositories.)

Ironically, the repository is hosted via Mercurial...

Which part?

I'm not sure. I know nothing beyond wikipedia about Plan 9 (have seen parts of the film though!  ). Do you use it and in what way will this new development make it better to use?

I play with some of its parts, currently investigating if it is a good idea to run Plan 9 as my backup server.

There was no Git client for Plan 9 before. Now there is one, and it perfectly fits Plan 9's general concept: Everything is a file system. Even more so than on Unix: Even sockets are a file system - in fact, you can even import a different Plan 9 computer's network stack right into your machine. Admittedly, most of it only makes sense if you have more than one Plan 9 computer.
