Kind-of like csup in cvs/cvsupd times?
With the difference that csup also solved a problem that cvs could not.

That gets me to my question?  In a time when pkg(8) will be mandatory
basically to our users, what does this buy a user that it cannot do
after a pkg install git-lite?

The idea about the scripts is differnt thig, which may very well be
valuable?
