I'm not sure it was ever announced on this list, so here's the link
for people interested in the ARP-cache-on-Irmin experiments (I assume
this is what you're referring to):

We do need more Irmin tutorials though. I've had some requests for a
more technical follow-up to the CueKeeper post, so I may write
something there too about Irmin, but the ARP cache example is probably
a better place for an introduction.
