We’ve discussed “archiving” important topics (like, say, those in a knowledge base…) into some sort of external place, to access if/when everything Discourse-related is on fire. Nothing’s been done yet, but it’s definitely in mind. Our plan was just to dump the current text of the first post in a topic to a static directory somewhere, because revisions are already kept inside Discourse, but a git repo isn’t a _completely_ insane idea. I’d expect it would be third-party-plugin territory, though.
