Hmm, I am slightly worried about doing so might defeat the whole point of making the sample repository a separate one from git.git hosted there.

The reason it is not a branch in git.git is because I did not want to contaminate the official git.git repository with commit objects in tree objects (aka gitlinks); it would deny access to clients older than 1.5.2.
