When bugs gets fixed and reappear, that's the time to start worry. That old bugs gets fixed is a very good sign. It means Git is being tested by users that care. Git is very feature rich and considering that, it's amazing that is isn't completly bugridden with a 10K known unfixed bugs. That would be depressing, the current state isn't. -- robin
