[ Actually it works in dash as well. AFAIK it's almost 99% POSIX shell
code (IIRC the only extension used is to use "type <foo>" to figure out
if <foo> is a valid function/command). ]
The real reason is rather silly: I'd been thinking about how to
represent the database in such a way that all the merging is done "for
free" by the underlying VCS, and when it finally occurred to me, I was
all excited at how simple it was and started to write an email to
a friend outlining how it worked, and since describing it in text was
cumbersome, I started to write it in pseudo-code which quickly turned
into executable sh code.
The next planned feature (email UI) will not be written in sh, and
I expect that after that, all the new code will be in Python.
