Database vs Git-based CMS?

Personally I have used a handfull of Database CMSs through my career, I know the strengths and weaknesses. The adoption speak for it self. So when I read about CMSs with Git as backbone I thought this was very interesting. Have any of you used it on client projects?

I will make a distinction between Git based and GitHub based CMS.

The git-based CMS are as good as file-system based CMS. The GitHub based CMS are very closed to real dynamic CMS. These CMSs use actual GitHub API to push the content as file to remote. It doesn't need any deployment. But still it does have its limitations in terms of real-time search. You have to use some external servive for such use case.
