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

also sprach martin f krafft [off-list ref] [2011.08.02.2109 +0200]:

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.

refs/heads/master is a file, containing its payload in the first
line by format definition, right?

I mean: the storage is right there, isn't it?

Of course this opens a whole new can of worms: merging per-ref data.
