the traditional approach is for ori, or an intern, to write a paper
about this git implementation, so it can live in /sys/doc.  I assume,
for the sake of argument, that ori has unlimited free time and interns
to accomplish this, and so I look forward to reading the paper when it
is published, for the sake of argument, later today.
