I agree with the basic idea but have some questions about the
implementation.

Is there precedent of git commands storing information in hidden files
and requiring those files to be added to the repository and tracked?  It
seems like a bit of a kludge.

Could we use notes or something for this?

I'm not necessarily against the patches, I just want to make sure we
don't go down a road that won't be acceptable later on.
