Yes, I think that is sensible. I'm not sure there is even any core git
code to be written. I think a wrapper that does the following would
probably work:

I agree with your outline, which I find is in line with what I had in mind
in the message Miles responded.

The approach is different from what Miles alluded to, which is to have
"clients" create objects in the "central" place in the first place,
though.

It seems to me that is simply an optimization that can come later.

I did not mean "it is wrong because it does not match what Miles said" by
that. In fact, I think it is a better approach to put things in clients
first and consolidating possible duplicates at the central one purely as
optimization, and I do not necessarily see "write to central from the
beginning" as a particularly good "optimization".

FWIW, this seems reasonable to me...
