Yes:

https://bitbucket.org/bors_ltd/django-gitstorage

(before you fork to github anew, consider updating this existing, but out of date, github mirror: https://github.com/9h37/django-gitstorage)

Here's a couple of example projects that do similar things.

A git-backed wiki:

https://github.com/mgaitan/waliki

A mercurial based latex hosting site:

https://bitbucket.org/Svedrin/webtex

("This is a Django Project providing a WebTeX service. The way this works is totally ripped from BitBucket: Users have HG Repos, push their Documents into it, and can get a compiled version and other cool stuff over the net.")
