I wonder why you decided to use Git this way. IIUC you only use Git's
tree of refs as your database, so you do not seem to take advantage of
many of Git's features (e.g. you end up having to write your own gc as
well as your own code to traverse the dag of messages (to distinguish
parents which are messages in this issue from parents which are other
kinds of references)).
