Data model! Dynamic data lookup should opportunisticly cache any associated cheap data. For instance, there are three data from stat(/srv/git/$reponame.git), so looking up one should grab the others. Jules points out that everything here is inherently cached, and I should be using getpw*() for passwd parsing.
