	So, this is where swift lives, after you've installed XCode 6 Beta:

	/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/swift

	Also, there's a directory named swift which has various libraries:

	/Applications/Xcode6-Beta.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift

	To start playing in a terminal:

	#!/bin/bash
	#
	# Blame @gnarmis if this doesn't work
	#
	# Put this anywhere on your $PATH (~/bin is recommended). Then git will see it
	# and you'll be able to do `git recent-branches`.
	#
	# Show top 5 most recent branches:
	# $ git recent-branches \| head -n 5
	#

	; Want a fast emacs startup? Copy this to ~/.emacs.minimal and:
	;
	; cp ~/.emacs ~/.emacs.bak
	; echo "(load-file \"/absolute/path/to/.emacs.minimal\")" > ~/.emacs
	;
	; Switch it back if you don't like it.
