macOS actually has an excellent SMB client, so the options actually are: WebDAV, NFS (3.0 and 4.0), SMB, FSKit.

By excellent do you mean bearable? macOS’s SMB stack is certainly not excellent.

Won't the SMB implementation be sufficient to mount git commits as folders?

By bearable do you mean it exists? It's fucking shite.

Which is why I'm so angry they're killing AFP. It works so much better and is super easy to set up a server for on a Linux

AFAIK, SMB doesn't support symbolic links.
