How about using sqlite for this? Then you wouldn't need to parse anything, just read/update tables. Fast indexing out of the box, too.

SQLite solves the storage layer but I suspect you run into a pretty big impedance mismatch on the graph traversals. For heavy DAG operations like history rewriting, a custom structure seems way more efficient than trying to model that relationally.
