But git already has this object, it’s called a tree and each commit has a unique tree associated with it. The commits are the object that carries history and metadata on top of the trees. Is your objection that the commit metadata is associated to the commit and not the tree?

[dataflow → karatinversion]

To a first approximation, yes, I think that captures the general idea.

But I don't think it's literally as simple as just taking the commit metadata and slapping it onto the tree objects.
