I'm new to Python but would love to help out in this project. I spent some time trying to figure out how to run the program as a typical shell...
The current serialization [code](https://github.com/thblt/write-yourself-a-git/blob/75f52c20ad6ed23c37534fe06d2592b42e8408ea/libwyag.py#L398): ``` def kvlm_serialize(kvlm): ... for v in val: ret += k + b' ' + (v.replace(b'\n', b'\n ')) + b'\n' ``` The code replaces every new...
