Great project, but not perfect.

My main feeling is that it exposes too much mechanism and in the wrong
8
 
ways.  For example, hashes are all very well for representing
9
 
identity, but I don't want to see them; I just want to say "r43 of
10
 
this branch".

Cryptographic signing is good for making sure revisions are really
13
 
what they claim to be, but I don't want to directly deal with it: I
14
 
want it as a check that things are really happening as they should
15
 
be.  It should be barely seen and not heard unless/until something
16
 
goes wrong.
