gollark: I mean, git is complicated and has many legacy things behind it, a simple CC updater thing with limited diff-ing capability is still pretty generalizable.
gollark: Admittedly I may just end up reimplementing half of what git does anyway, but I feel like I could probably have a simpler task-specific version with fewer problems.

gollark: So it could download a manifest file, see "hmm, this is version 1247.-006.3a and 1248.3033030.æææ is available, I must now update these files".
