I confess I did not completely understand what LKCL was trying to do.
I tried to clone / run the demo, but the code appears to be using an
old version of git-python (0.1).   At one point it runs a 'git
pack-objects' with a command line option '--with-raw-output' that I
can't track down in any historical git document version.  Diff
attached to make something run with that repo, and git-python-0.3beta
(current).

Do I understand correctly, that, in your git repository, you checkout
the commit that you want to export, then export that commit as a
packfile, to a torrent.  Thence you can use the LKCL commands to
unpack the torrent again as a git commit.

?

See you,

Matthew
