How reliable is IPFS for things like this?

If I wanted to use git on ipfs, I could host a node and push all my git commits there, but I’d have to convince others to host it as well, correct? So perhaps it would be awesome for majorly popular projects, but still a end up having a SPOF for smaller projects right?

The idea is to have the daemon automatically start and serve the git repo anytime a git clone is done, that way the number of nodes hosting the repo (speed of download) grows with the popularity of the repo. That way you could saturate a 10G connection on a popular repo, whereas with github you'll likely be pretty throttled or limited.
