That's a very good idea!
Do we also have designated git tree for fscrypto?
As soon UBIFS file encryption is mainline I'll have to monitor changes
to fscrypto very closely because changes in fscrypto could introduce
changes in the on-flash format of UBIFS.
i.e. a subtle change in filename encryption... :-)
