I would expect a reverse package manager to be something that somehow screws up, disorganizes, or otherwise injects entropy into my packages.

I would like to see the "why" expanded on a bit more. Lay out the use case clearly and sell me on the benefits. Especially if I have to install two other pieces of software to get this to work.

Thanks for the feedback. The "why" section is definitely on my radar. Also, I'll eventually port this over to either ruby, or c++. I know it's kind of a pain to have to install node.js, and NPM.

I think this does the same as mr (http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/), though mr supports repository formats than just git at the moment.

You seem to have checked in a '.DS_Store' there. A good example of why you should explicitly add files, not use wildcards. ;)

eh, I'm lazy. Removed it - thanks for noticing that.
