Use a thin shell repository to manage guest repos?

Thanks Todd, but I do have to give credit to the other guys on the team 
here, especially Ben Smith who did the initial coding and architecture of 
the plugin and contributed insanely great feedback on our initial design. 

I am really glad that it's working out well for you!
