Re: working prototype of orphan parent commits as datastores (was: Storing additional information in commit headers)

also sprach Jeff King [off-list ref] [2011.08.02.2057 +0200]:

Look at "git show origin/master" here. It ends up as a combined diff.
Which is kind of ugly.

Yes, absolutely. However, this would no longer be the case if
x-*-ref could be used. Right now, I am just using orphan parent
commits to avoid garbage collection.
