project-code and hash-policy join stat's fields, and stat joins the -R family it was refused for a plumbing reason rather than a policy one. A consumer needing the project code had to find a free port, spawn zit serve, poll for readiness, POST a clone container and scrape the push card -- a subprocess and a listening socket per repository -- because the value was reachable only by speaking the sync protocol to a server you started yourself.

The no-checkout diagnostic said 'no .zit found' in directories where .zit was sitting right there; discovery looks for .zit-checkout, so it now says that and names -R as the way in. closed check-in: cd748a57c2 user: dmestas tags: project-code
