We should warp the tools to work with the model, not vice-versa.

Separate repositories provides an _entire layer of modularization_
that is under-utilized.  MCRepository is the seam that bridges the
logical into the physical for Monticello, with that entire
class-hierarchy at our disposal for bringing our ancestral / branching
requirements to the fore, beautifully into the tools, searchable,
GIT-backend, whatever, in the way we _want_ it.  **Eliot opened up his
note suggesting** a new repository for spur.  This whole thread
could've ended there..  ;-)
