This kinda moves us away from using native APIs for backup. Like, we can't download zips and have them just magically combine unless we do some fancy request to the filesystem to dedupe the directories. Maybe we should introduce a settings clone-strategy, where you can either choose to download the tarbalss/zips or have kagami copy the directory and then git reset upstream on all known branches/tags?
