Client-side filesystem for a remote repository

A computer-implemented method performed by one or more computing devices, comprising:

• sending, from a storage service to a client device, one or more files of a repository maintained by a repository manager using the storage service, wherein the client device is separate from the storage service and the repository manager, wherein a credential sent by the repository manager to the client device permits the client device to obtain the one or more files from the storage service, without involvement of the repository manager, using the credential, wherein local copies of the one or more files are accessible via a local filesystem mounted at the client device, and wherein one or more new files associated with the repository are generated at the client device;
• and
• obtaining the one or more new files at the storage service from the client device, wherein the one or more new files are added by the client device to the storage service using the credential, and wherein the one or more new files are added to the repository.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing program instructions that, when executed on or across one or more processors, perform:

• sending, from a storage service to a client device, one or more files of a repository maintained by a repository manager using the storage service, wherein the client device is separate from the storage service and the repository manager, wherein a credential sent by the repository manager to the client device permits the client device to obtain the one or more files from the storage service, without involvement of the repository manager, using the credential, wherein local copies of the one or more files are accessible via a local filesystem mounted at the client device, and wherein one or more new files associated with the repository are generated at the client device;
• and
• obtaining the one or more new files at the storage service from the client device, wherein the one or more new files are added by the client device to the storage service using the credential, and wherein the one or more new files are added to the repository.

A system, comprising:

• means for sending one or more files of a repository from a storage service to a client device, wherein the one or more files are requested by the client device from the storage service, without involvement of the repository manager, using a credential sent by a repository manager to the client device, wherein the client device is separate from the storage service and the repository manager, wherein local copies of the one or more files are accessible via a local filesystem mounted at the client device, and wherein one or more new files associated with the repository are generated at the client device;
• and
• means for obtaining the one or more new files at the storage service from the client device, wherein the one or more new files are added by the client device to the storage service using the credential, and wherein the one or more new files are added to the repository.
