But that's the point of greg's system: the repository still doesn't
munge any data coming in or out, *and* we make a guarantee that the
client won't munge any data you send to the repository. At most, the
client has the ability to give the user a comfortable illusion of the
working files. The important point here is that the illusions only
exist in the client; the repository never creates any.
