-    Change to the directory where the git checkout is located.
-    Insert 'local.yml' as the first playbook to be run.  This
-    supports multiple playbooks being supplied on the CLI, similar
-    to ansible-playbook.  This then loops on all the playbooks, 
-    instantiates and runs a playbook.  A couple things of note:
-      * The transport uses the default set above, local
-      * The host_list argument to Playbook is set to a list of
-        names.  These are localhost, the fqdn, and hostname.
-    This last point is problematic because it will run a playbook
-    3 times if the playbook is for 'all' hosts.  We do not necessarily
-    want to override 'hosts' in the playbook because they may be generic
-    across the entire infrastructure -- not host specific.
-
-    Finally, this should use the logging module in some manner and
-    not print data to STDOUT.
