Brad, can you post your Hudson slides on the wiki?

Tom talked about this, but there weren't any slides.  He just
presented the web site and described what he was showing.

John Hawley and I talked about this a bit, it probably makes sense
to take Avery's bup work and start to formalize it within core Git.
But yea, we didn't ever get around to debating the merits of a new
"sequence" object type vs. defining a new variant of the current
tree mode and reusing the current tree walking support to link in
the segments of the huge file.

I think it really depends on what older versions of Git will
do.  If older Git versions would accept a different tree mode
(e.g. '040001') and treat them as normal trees, we could at least
use older Git servers for push/pull/fsck/gc without breaking the
repository.  But doing a checkout would produce a directory of
segments, and updating a segment would break the directory mode.
But I suspect older gits will choke on that tree mode.

And this is pretty cool too.  I was pretty impressed by the flag.

RefInsteadOf turned out to be a non-discussion.  I asked the SEMC
guys what they wanted... and it turns out its already handled
somewhere else and they didn't realize it.  They just needed to
use the fetch refspec in .git/config correctly.  :-)

This was the Qualcomm guys presenting how they use DRBD to keep
git in sync on multiple machines and implement quick fail-over when
there is a problem with the primary.
