As I've been thinking about it more, my primary concern for using
phabricator for git hosting is that we'd be self-hosting with a
relatively new feature.

I'll see if I can get it working in stg today, though. I'm not willing
to just enable it on production and see what happens but we can explore
the idea.

Yeah, that's to support code reviews. The repo needs to be in
phabricator before we can do that.

The callsign is a unique identifier for the repo. In this case, LTRN is
for libtaskotron.

The commit hashes are prepended by rLTRN to identify them as commits to
the libtaskotron. r (revision) LTRN (repo callsign) <hash>
