## Roadmap

- [ ] Add `--update-ref=` and `--update-branch` options to `pull` command to automatically generate commits with parents
- [ ] Discover and transparently utilize remote `/.git` interface if available
- [ ] Evaluate feasibility of exposing a [git remote helper](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-remote-helpers)
