  Hi,

Dear diary, on Sun, Sep 03, 2006 at 01:34:31PM CEST, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano <junkio@xxxxxxx> said that...

  I basically agree on all three points - I will try to submit a patch
to implement get_object() purely in Git.pm reasonably soon, and will see
about introducing some actually designed repository division abstraction
when I get some time. I hope to see Git.xs come back again in few
months, but for now I have to concur that we should go back to the
drawing board.
