[9fans] [ANNOUNCE] Grande

[Eric Van Hensbergen <ericvh@gmail.com>]

As a quick experiment the other day, I wrote a file-system back-end
for Venti which serves the Venti protocol, but instead of using
Indexes/Arenas/etc. for the back-end, it creates a hierarchical
directory structure similar to Git with a file per score. This was
done in the context of some other experiments (which I will post about
later when they are complete), but I figured this may useful in of
itself. The code is currently available in my vdiskfs branch of Plan 9
Ports on bitbucket
(http://bitbucket.org/ericvh/vdiskfs/src/tip/src/cmd/venti/grande.c).
It is very much a prototype, so not very robust -- but feel free to
use it or build on it if you think it is useful to you.
