A decentralized, blockchain-based messaging network for safer communications
techxplore.com
Researchers from several institutes worldwide recently developed Quarks, a new, decentralized messaging network based on blockchain technology. Their proposed system could overcome the limitations of most commonly used messaging platforms, allowing users to retain control over their personal data and other information they share online.

No, git repos are merkle trees. Blockchains happen to build on merkle trees. Git is not blockchain.
I suppose it depends on how exactly you define a blockchain. If you add distributed consensus algorithms and a requirement for BFT resistance, then it clearly isnt. Its the usual issue with definition...
The definition isn’t the problem. Git isn’t blockchain, never was, never will be. Thank ~god~ Linus
Since a definition is descriptive, not prescriptive, I think it's paramount.
