Oh, by the way: I have a project idea. There's this really popular project called hub[1] that has an implementation of the GitHub API in ruby. Unfortunately, it's a terrible piece of software because it creates an extra layer of indirection by putting a ruby wrapper on top of git, and this slows git down: I cannot tolerate even a microsecond of delay in git. Maybe it's worth ripping out the GitHub API implementation and writing some useful subcommands?
