1) yes - another reason is that GAE seems to deploy static files seperately to code. So thats another complication in downloading (and one that the enter app doesnt address). Also its not clear that GAE actully stores a copy of your app.yaml and index.yaml -so those might never be retreiveable. GAE has a limit of 1000 files per app, and possibly all files you use during development are not uploaded - meaning you would never be able to recreate the dev enviroment. A last point is that there is no reason for GAE to know metadata - (permissions, mime-types and timestamps), so these may never be recoverable either (admittedly these arent always supported by versioning systems) .
All in all lots of limits - and something that there are already plenty of systems available for anyway 2) ideally yes 3) yes - but that is just one example of many.
