Nice.  It looks like testing it out on 9front will involve a bit of
backporting of ape stuff, but I may take a look.

As a side note, taking a look turned into a good test case for git/fs,
and got me to solve two issues -- git/fs now uses far less memory to
index large repositories, and it will no longer barf when a repository
has submodules.


Good support for submodules will still need a bit of work.
