Very interesting. I have to say that after having played around with
it a couple of minutes, I really like it. Needs some polishing here
and there (i.e. cleaning up the COMMIT_ANNOTATION.NNNN* files), but
it is a very good proof-of-concept.

I think I agree with your hunch, although I initially thought that your
solution was a bit heavy on the number of objects created. But, hey, git
is _designed_ to handle massive amounts of objects. :)

Small typo here. "core.showannotaions" should be "core.showannotations",
I guess.
