And it has a special-cased +protocol during bootstrap that transfers the git repo over to a new host, +using the ssh connection that will be used to run propellor. + +This could be improved by making a git push be done whenever +`propellor spin $host` runs. The remote propellor runs `git receive-pack`; +the local one runs `git send-pack`. + +Then there would be no need for a central git repo. Although still very +useful if you have multiple propellor driven hosts and you want to just git +commit and let cron sort them out.
