account when thinking about removing it, I know that I wanted to get rid

It uses the same commit walker semantics and mechanism so I do
not think it is too much burden to carry it, but I'd rather have
something that works over git native protocol if we really care
about this.  People without ssh access needs to be able to
recover over git:// protocol.
