Maybe. What I thankfully left out of my description was the dozen gbp-pq
directories I had to trash when I tried to do something that *seemed* to make
sense but ended up just borking my directory. Sometimes I could chuck the
changes and try again, but more often than not, I just rmdir'd and started
over. Even after getting it right (and updating my draft), I still don't feel
like gbp-pq is very resilient. I wrote the git-dpm bits after just one or two
such experiments.
Either way, I think we need better focused task-oriented documentation!
