But to what end?

We all *know* the impacts:
* Excellent performance at what it does now.
* Currently zero capability to replace google as the #1 search engine.

Since replacing google's db was never, and will never, be the goal of
git, what is it you wish to achieve? Seriously, I'm dying to know, so
please tell me. If you have already and I'm too daft to understand it,
humor me and reiterate :-)
