Re: btrfs-progs tagged as v3.12

I'm humbly totally unqualified to comment but that sounds like an
excellent idea. Thanks.

I can't say for others but I was put off by the 0.19 forever eternal
version which pushed me to investigate GIT... I'm sure that has been
putting off many people including distro assemblers.


Just for some positive comment: Good progress, thanks.

Regards,
Martin

(OK, that's the last of the positives for the Christmas present. Back to
bugging! ;-) )
