Hi Conrad,

Look like i'm not the first one to kind-of reimplement git ;-)

In my use case, creating objects was the most important bit to get this project 
running.

Design wise, i made sure i can switch to mmap later too, which is the reason of 
the "filereader" abstraction.
I'm actually getting a hold of mmap in haskell in a work project right now, and 
will probably add a mmap mode along with the handle mode to hit's filereader too.
