I think I misunderstand the project as Moy said. I thought the purpose of project is to store configuration into memory between multiple git calls. Sorry.

Moy, thanks for explaining. You said API should be hided. Is that means I should indicate an arbitary feature in old version or new feature we added should be linked to a manipulation of inner structure? And I need to find the connection to make this abstraction?

Besides maybe I should focus on code part more in my proposal, like which part should be changed for this project?
