Better name for .get()? #86

Agree, I have been pondering a better alternative for a minute - even ignoring the conflict with python's use of get, ours is used in contexts going far beyond fetching, like BaseModel.get() which would be much better described as BaseModel.setup(). Fetch is fine, but in certain situations get() also creates symlinks, which I wouldn't really describe as "getting" or "fetching".
