a small git proposal

Hi everyone,

This is my first email to this mailing list, so this may be somehow too straight forward... the idea is that I was thinking to develop a new feature in Git (although I'm kind of new to git myself). I wrote a small description of what I intend to do and I figured I could use some pointers (how I can improve it, any possible usage scenarios you can think for it and so on). Details are available at the gist link below or as attachment to this email (I zipped the text file since it was more it is larger than 10k and I didn't want it to get rejected by the email server... although it still might)

gist link:    https://gist.github.com/3437530

I made the gist public, so feel free to edit it directly... or, if you prefer, just email me with any comments. I'm opened to any suggestion, so feel free to send me any kind of comment (maybe I'm trying to implement something that is already in git for example, and since I'm a bit of a newbie in the git world, I didn't notice any way to obtain my desired workflow).

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Cata
