Bittorrent does not lend itself well to frequently-changing files or
collections thereof - each time the git repository ip updated, a new
metadata file would need to be created, and distributed, and you'd lose
all the seeds who don't bother to get the new one every time it changes.
Moreover, I imagine some clients would have problems with more than 900
or so files due to open file limits.
