[develop] Gitfs

[Cameron Eagans]

I'm not 100% sure on the specifics. The last bullet point in the 
"Features" section in the Readme says that commits are batched, but I'm 
not sure what exactly that means (i.e. are they only committing/pushing 
every n seconds? Are they waiting for you to change n files before 
committing? Are they waiting for an ssh logout before committing?).
