Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

+ * - uses bcmpge to compare 8 bytes in parallel
+ * - does binary search to find 0 byte in last
+ * quadword (HAKMEM needed 12 instructions to
+ * do this instead of the 9 instructions that
