satchel: A bag for your files, separated by git branches
A satchel is a persisted list of paths that are considered important for
the ongoing work. Thus, we rely on git branch names to distinguish between
satchels. The use case is as follows:
* Create a branch and start the ongoing work.
* Discover what files are important, place them in a satchel.
* When exploring the code base in the current project, you can more easily now
jump to the important files, thus saving time.
* Realize you need to work on a different branch - switch to it.
Now the satchel is automatically scoped to the new branch.
If there are files there, jump to them.
So to clarify, satchel persists a set of files residing under a project as
defined by `project'. In addition, we use git branches to delimit between
different sets of files.

# Satchel
satchel.el is a small utility to help manage buffers and files on a working
branch. You can place files in a satchel, which is a file with a list of files
inside:
```elisp
;; satchel is named '~---src---satchel---#master'
(("/home/theo/src/satchel/satchel.el")
("/home/theo/src/satchel/README.md"))
```
This file is persisted, then read back in every time it is needed. The useful
thing with this is that often you struggle with tens, if not a hundred buffers
in your buffer list, and fuzzy finding simply gets slow because you have to
parse the incremental search. If you manage these satchels manually you can
maintain the 3-5 files that are most important at any given time, thus having a
much less cluttered search space.
## Satchels are separated by git branches
This means that when you switch branches, your satchels are automatically
updated and scoped to the work you are currently focused on.
