Wikipedia has an entry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_addressable_memory

and at at first glance, here's a possible filesystem based on some of
the concepts:

and another:

and, hey, maybe I'm not a complete idiot:

"What git offers is a content-addressable object filesystem. If you
store a file in git, it does not really have a name; instead, it can
be looked up using its contents (as represented by an SHA hash). A
hierarchical grouping of files - a particular kernel release, for
example - is represented by a separate "tree" object listing which
files are part of the group and where they are to be found. Files do
not have any history - they simply exist or not, and two versions of
the same file are only linked by virtue of being in the same place in
two different tree objects."
