note that we have the same problem with .git/patches that this patch fixes in the .git/patches/<series> directories; namely, that if we add files in .git/patches, we can't have branches with the same names.

i was thinking of perhaps creating a .git/stgit subdirectory that might contain the config file, an stgit metadata version file, and perhaps any locally modified copies of the template files.
