I _personally_ care about the semantics, but not very deeply - since I

But I think that for this thing to become useful, we want to care about 
the format - or at least the interface to the different users (with the 
acknowledgement that "users" should often be porcelain above us).

Right now we've basically had people hand-editing the remotes files, and I 
think cogito still uses the older branches format that came from cogito in 
the first place. I think we should just try to decide on a config file 
format, and make it easy for cogito etc to use it.

Linus,

Wondering why you feel so strongly that most "users" shouldn't be real people.
What is wrong with continuing to make git easier for developers to use without
needing any extra software?
