Persisting the schema to disk is the most important part of this for me.
I need access to the schema information when users do any number of
operations (update, rebase, etc).  Are you saying don't persist them to
disk by default, but in my extension I can wrap clone/pull then fetch the
schemas, and register to disk the ones that I am interested in?
