I think I get the blame for that. I think I originally added it, and then you made exactly the point you make below about it being an unreliable method for keeping track of outstanding items and I found I couldn't disagree. My own recommendation for this page - or in fact any similar list - is don't bother - let's delete it or replace it with a link to Junio's email. The way to get new features into git seems to be either a. Do it yourself b. Mention it (but not excessively) on the mailing list, if one of the guru's is interested enough to do it (their choice not yours), then you're in. Otherwise - see (a). > many of them are now irrelevant, or stale, or have been > rejected. It even includes tongue-in-cheek suggestions made as > counterarguments as if they are serious proposals. I just have I thought I'd included only serious suggestions. Perhaps my humour-detector was a bit faulty that day. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIET andyparkins@gmail.com
