-Some other notes:
-
-- There are two separate helper packages in git.pm. To keep things self
-  confined, I haven't split it up.
-
-- I've used a (mini) Debug.pm during the tests and made it a separate file
-  for the convenience of others.  It relies on the "constant folding"
-  feature of Perl, so there shouldn't be a runtime penalty (at least this
-  is what the 'perl -MO=Deparse shows', haven't made a real benchmark).
-
-- rcs_notify() has not been implemented yet (I have noticed it after I
-  finished the main work).
-
-- GIT backend uses the gitweb for repository browsing (the counterpart of
-  ViewCVS).

-- There might be some subs in GIT name space which you may prefer to move to
-  the main code.
-
-- Due to the reasons explained in the code, I've written an rcs_invoke()
-  wrapper.  May be there should be a better approach to reach the same
-  goal.
-
-- There are some parts which I may change in future, like using a global
