> Program to convert lines of text into a tree structure.

For example it can convert output of find into a nicely formatted tree (or JSON).

it took me a good minute to understand why the structure is wrong, as there is no `VCS/fzf` entry in `fzf.kak`. But then I’ve understood that this is a way to format files with a common `fzf-` prefix. I wonder if this can be disabled. Will go read their readme now that’s I’ve figured it out 😃
