This is the starting point for extending _Overview_ to support various
types of recent updates (i.e. not just blog articles and commits over a
certain message size).
While direct fetching and rendering of markdown-formatted Git commit
messages is an attractive concept, this new approach should be much more
flexible. As a side benefit commit entries can now be edited and
expanded compared to their fixed Git reference. e.g. retroactively
expanding upon older commits or adding example media that doesn't
strictly belong inside the actual commit message.

Fetching external resources during the actual build became problematic
after the last major Nix update (build purity was improved).
The sensible way of doing things in Nix seems to be to declare ALL
build dependencies prior to the actual build -- this includes
e.g. ATOM feeds to be aggregated.
I am probably not going to do the same for the individual repository
feeds as this feature is going to be replaced with a more general
_microblog_-like subpage.

* I just realized that repository specific commit feeds are already provided by both CGit and GitHub
** i.e. I made the mistake of not checking if my current system already provides the required functionality when I wanted to aggregate my commits and found this to be a use case for StaticXSLT
* feeds are fetched via `curl`
** this will be a local request in production
** the messages are still cleaned using `sed` and transformed into _XHTML_ using `peg-markdown`
* instead of reading a customized Git log output CommitLog now simply transforms CGit ATOM feeds using identity templates
** this requires ATOM namespace removal which is implemented in `utility/remove_namespace.xsl`
