[#84] Git repository for bookmarks, identities, and settings

Storing user runtime files in a source repository locally would form one possible foundation for implementing syncing across multiple devices. It would also provide a history of changes.

There are downsides, though:

Git integration would be needed either via a new dependency or an external program.
setting up syncing via Git would require sufficient tech skills.
merge conflicts would have to resolved somehow, if they occur.

It's a bit unclear how fast the repository would grow in size if it gets updated after every change in settings, bookmarks, or identities.
