That's not a build load, it's a git load.  btrfs beat all others at the
various git/quilt things I tried (since that's what I do lots of in real
life), but tux3 looked quite good too.

As Dave noted though, an orchard produces oodles of apples over its
lifetime, these shiny new apples may lose luster over time ;-)
