I don't think that's quite right... It sounds to me like clarification of a specific example, rather than anything to do with diplomatic immunity. I don't like going to dictionaries for arguments, but look at "subject&qu

Kind of. The structure is the same and you can check it out if you want, but it's actually a 3rd directory under "refs" - the other two being "heads" (branches) and "tags". That avoids special-casing wit
