Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the TypeError when pickling a pygit2 Repository for use with a Redis task queue, then inspect the Repository binding's serialization support. Done means documenting whether Repository objects can be pickled and defining the supported behavior or scope for this request.
