Here's one tree. Anyone can get an initial copy as follows:

git clone http://git.postgresql.org/git/~davidfetter/hash/.git

Xiao Meng, if you let me know where your git repo is, say by cloning
onto a machine I can see from the internet and applying your patches
to it, I can pull and let others see it :)

Yes, I know it's a little cumbersome, but we'll get something slicker
as we figure out what "slicker" really should mean.

Cheers,
David.
