(Just to clarify -- this is to help teachers (e.g., me) try to mock up what
students will be seeing in a complicated collaboration exercise.)

It took me a little while to figure out the right bare/non-bare
configuration (in order to mirror github-like repos for multiple users),
and I wanted to try out different exercises, hence the automation. I feel
like I haven't answered your question, so please let me know if you'd like
to me clarify things more..

Cheers,
Matt
