I think I made two minor flubs; there's a git-svn commit with an unwrapped commit message (0a1a1c8615 git-svn: call 'fatal' correctly) and a "maint" topic branch was accidentally based on master. It merged to next that way, but I caught it and cherry-picked only the necessary change into maint. There is new content in my tree again today (just pushed there). So we would still appreciate people tracking (and testing) my branches for a bit. I'll send out a "what's in" summary pair around Sunday to help ease the transition for Junio, so he has a summary of what's where. > *2* Thanks, Shawn.

I honestly do not know how you do it, day in and day out, for as long as you have. I think I've been tracking about 4-5 hours per day on git maintenance lately. Its a wonder you are able to even write patches. My hat's off to you, sir. ;-) Anyway, I'm more than happy to continue playing patch monkey for a few weeks if you want to take a some time and just be a contributor again. I know you have a number of WIP branches that haven't been able to move along... I've been skipping over them with Meta/RB. :-\ Either way we really should be thinking about freezing and rolling a 1.6.0.3 soon-ish. -- Shawn.
