I think I dropped this idea somewhere already, but I think
it would be nice if puppetmaster::self accepted a parameter
that links to a Git repository and branch and took the con-
figuration from there.  In development cycles, you clone the
production repository to GitHub or wherever, test changes
and commit, then, when your changes are merged in Gerrit and
you have achieved a more stable configuration, you point
back to the production repository so that the instance pulls
any updates from there without having to tear down/create
new instances.
