system that supports neither renames nor links, and just wants the object
to be created with the final name to start with.
(Ok, that sounds unlikely, but I mention it because it's an example of the
concept. Maybe somebody likes crazy databases, and would like to have a
"createobject = mysql" for some DB-backed loose object crap).

More likely is "bigtable", I guess ;-)

As I said, this is highly unlikely, as certain people made sure that the
Google Code people do not like Git.

There are actually lots of sane and educated people inside google. Many of
them freely acknowledge what a horrid thing SVN is.
