Actually it seems _very_ similar to monotone. It lacks the sql db of
course, it stores whole files instead of deltas and there are no
certs. And rsync takes care of the network replication. Apart from
that it seems to be structured in the same way : files are identified
by their content's hash ; tree objects are like monotone's manifest
and there is a changeset object to keep track of the history, just
like monotone revisions. What a rip-off :)

Heh, I bet I could make monotone-viz display a git db with a little
hacking.
