Git, IMO, is not the right tool for the job.  It's a revision-control
tool; it doesn't understand calendaring or schedule conflicts.

I was thinking of developing something that could manage Remind
calendars centrally.  You could then search for free time to schedule
meetings by running Remind against each person's calendar in a special
mode that tracks busy/free times... some sort of daemon to do the calendar
management.

However, that sounded like a lot of work and since Remind has no chance
of being used in a corporate environment anyway (where most of the demand
for shared calendars is) I don't think it would be worth it.

If someone else wants to tackle this... go for it! :)
