On recent VMs, collection.toArray(new T[0]) is faster than
collection.toArray(new T[collection.size()]). Since it is also more
readable, it should now be the preferred way of collection to array
conversion.

Define MonotonicClock interface for advanced timestamps
MonotonicClock can be implemented to provide more certainity about
time than the standard System.currentTimeMillis() can provide. This
can be used by classes such as PersonIdent and Ketch to rely on
more certainity about time moving in a strictly ascending order.
Gerrit Code Review can also leverage this interface through its
embedding of JGit and use MonotonicClock and ProposedTimestamp to
provide stronger assurance that NoteDb time is moving forward.

Git Ketch is a multi-master Git repository management system. Writes
are successful only if a majority of participant servers agree. Acked
writes are durable against server failures as a majority of the
participants store all required objects.
Git Ketch is modeled on the Raft Consensus Algorithm[1]. A ketch
sailing vessel is faster and more nimble than a raft. It can also
carry more source codes.
Git Ketch front-loads replication costs, which vaguely resembles a
ketch sailing vessel's distinguishing feature of the main mast on the
front of the ship.
