FYI, Harley J Pig <harleypig@gmail.com> had this to say on the
vcs-home mailing list

> I've written a metastore clone for a project where we need to store a
> linux distribution in version control (legacy code).  I'm also using
> it for my personal vcs-home stuff.  It is a naive and bluntly
> straightforward way to do this, but it seems to be working.  You can

> I use git hooks and a central file to (re)store the metadata.  Maybe
> it can be of some use to someone else.
