Create resources without knowing a subject - signatures as identifiers of a resource #114

Currently, users have to know the subject of a resource when creating a commit. This is fine for editing existing things, but what if the resource is new? This introduces two problems:

If we use the first signature as the identifier of the resource (or maybe the content hash?) we can fix these issues.

I think we need to support both - hash-based URLs for new resources and human-readable one, also it will be good use case for creating own URL shortening service - where atomic.data/hash can lead to atomic-data.dev/full_human_readable_url
