Oh, by the way: I have a project idea.  There's this really popular
project called hub[1] that has an implementation of the GitHub API in
ruby.  Unfortunately, it's a terrible piece of software because it
creates an extra layer of indirection by putting a ruby wrapper on top
of git, and this slows git down: I cannot tolerate even a microsecond
of delay in git.  Maybe it's worth ripping out the GitHub API
implementation and writing some useful subcommands?
