No. I will not do it, because the marginal cost of getting to know not only git but also its source is too high for my precious time ATM. Maybe next year. Will you do it for me if I buy you some beer? If I promise to (continue to) proofread git documentation for a couple of months? If I do more audit of git's shell code, searching for nonportable constructs? Or if I promise to try to help you with any autotools issue you might have? Or would money be needed? This: > Implementing that feature would be a piece of cake [...] doesn't sound like it, but I would understand very well if it needed that. Please consider that division of work really can be advantageous and that not all git users want to be or can be developers at all times. Cheers, Ralf
