It could in theory, be a faster way to checkout a different branch. Switching branches is a lengthy operation that involves a lot of deletions and replacements in the working tree. A fuse mount would simply be a rendering of the tree object. It doesn't need to do anything until something is accessed. Even then, it would simply be a rendered view of a blob in the repository.
