+git-candidate
+=============
+
+git-candidate provides candidate review and patch tracking,
+it differs from other tools that provide this by storing _all_
+content within git.
+
+## Why?
+
+Existing tools such as Github's pull-requests and Gerrit are already
+in wide use, why bother with something new?
+
+We are concerned that whilst git is a distributed version control
+system the systems used to store comments and reviews for content
+under version control are usually centralised,
+git-candidate aims to solve this by storing
+all patch-tracking data in git proper.
+
+## Example review process
+
+### Contributor - Submits a candidate
+
+	(hack hack hack)
+
+	(feature)$ git commit -m "Add archived repo"
+	(feature)$ git candidate create archivedrepo master
+		-m "Add support for archived repo"
+	Candidate archivedrepo created successfully.
+	(feature)$ git candidate submit origin archivedrepo
+	Candidate was submitted successfully.
+
+### Upstream - Reviews candidate
+
+	(master)$ git candidate fetch origin
+	(master)$ git candidate status origin/archiverepo

+	Author: Richard Ipsum <richard.ipsum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
+	Date:   Thu Oct 8 10:43:22 2015 +0100
+
+	    Add support for archived repository masking in `ls`
+
+	    By setting `project.archived` to something truthy, a repository
+	    is thusly masked from `ls` output unless --all is passed in.
