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.
