seriously im blanking so hard on this, check it:

Using the old hash syntax:

2.2.1 :005 > db.set('a', {:key => 'value'})
 => "a" 
2.2.1 :006 > db.get('a')

I'm loading it as strings into YAML's lib:

if we set it as a hash that is a string, it reads out as a hash properly BUT if we input the hash as an actual hash it breaks with that Psych error EVEN THOUGH i coerce all the input to strings from the source:

...
    def get(key)
      if $ITEMS.keys.include? key
        YAML.load(Gkv::GitFunctions.cat_file($ITEMS[key].last))
      else
        raise KeyError
      end
    end

    def set(key, value)
      update_items(key, value.to_s)
      key
    end
...

and update items:

...    
  def update_items(key, value)
      if $ITEMS.keys.include? key
        history = $ITEMS[key]
        history << Gkv::GitFunctions.hash_object(value.to_s)
        $ITEMS[key] = history
      else
        $ITEMS[key] = [Gkv::GitFunctions.hash_object(value.to_s)]
      end
    end
  end
...

Damn hashrockets! And I will!

I added a note using the hashrocket syntax and i/o @dustinbrownman
