+\r
+Would this hypothetical git-based mail store retain the atomicity and\r
+lockless concurrent-access of a maildir?  That is, could it be used in a\r

+\r
+when you say "backups of your Maildir" do you mean "backups of your\r
+git-based mail store" ?  or is this somehow a literal Maildir stored in g=\r
+it?\r
