Sparrow::Nest - custom Sparrow repository manager.

Description

This is a simple specification and implementation of Sparrow custom repositories.

• Custom plugins should be hosted as remote Git repositories ( like private sparrow plugins )
• Custom repository is just a list of plg-name git-repository pairs
• nested - sparrow repository daemon exposes API to: 1) list plugins presented at repository (get index) 2) add/remove plugins from the list
• Sparrow client requests a custom repository index so that custom sparrow plugins might be accessible at a target machine ( see sparrow client setup section )
