Result looks good from here.
 
The next things on my git to-do list are 

1. Audit the in-tree Python for version dependencies.  Add floor-version checks.

2. Submit a doc patch containing guidelines that (a) Python scripts should
   check for their floor version and error out gracefully if they won't
   run with the host's interpreter, and (b) Python scripts sbould be
   2.6-compatible.

3. Submit the git-weave integration patch.  I could do that now, but while my
   regression test speaks TAP it doesn't presently use the test library. I plan
   to re-work it to do that.

Do you have any other pending tasks for which you think my expertise would
be useful?  I refer specifically to the facts that (a) I find writing and 
editing documentation easy and can do it rapidly, (b) I'm a Python expert, 
and (c) I am very interested in, and know a lot about, tools for repository
surgery and import/export.
