I have a couple questions:

Why should I use your tool vs. a one line bash script for creating a directory tree?

Why would I keep any file content in the stamp file, in the version control history, if I can keep, say a bootstrap repository with some "templates" and check them out without history (git archive, git checkout-index).

I don't think you should use my tool.

I do think you should use the Stamp pattern, however.

It's solid.

Not too much code to write a Stamp Reader/Writer in your lang of choice.

P.S. Of course if you do use my tool, I would be more motivated to make it better, but really I think the idea is the important thing to use.
