Hi Bryan,

I was wondering: would you be okay with relicensing your test_set_edito=
r()
function from git=E2=80=99s test harness as GPL-2+?

The functionality is useful, so if that is not okay, I guess someone
who hasn=E2=80=99t read the code would have to reimplement it[1].  I th=
ought I
should ask because clearly you have not disappeared from the face of
the planet. :)

Thanks for your work, and sorry for the bother,
Jonathan

[1] Context: the Notmuch mail project would like to use git=E2=80=99s t=
est
harness.  The ack-collection for a patch to change the license to
help with uses like this is being tracked here:
