Dear diary, on Fri, May 13, 2005 at 08:49:25AM CEST, I got a letter
where Daniel Barkalow <barkalow@iabervon.org> told me that...

Hmm, I've honestly expected something different - a generic way to
specify any file in the repository to be pulled along, instead of a
introducing refs awareness at this level of git. What would be the
advantages of that approach against just specifying list of other files
to pull along?
