Well, I seriously wouldn't want you to slow down fixing bugs. :-) Enhancing features is a slightly different matter, because that tends to impress upon insiders a feeling of "how could we ever have done without that?" and onwards from there to "how can anybody seriously without that?" which then easily creates the impression that the answer to every other question from simple users like me is "install the newest version, it has a nifty feature that solves your problem better than anything already present in the version you have!" > Given that git dev has such a frantic pace... would it make sense to > give way to some "version inflation"? >=20 > This would give end users a more clear sense of how much things have > changed -- a 1.4.x to 1.5.x doesn't seem like much.

You've got a point there. But I'd like to suggest something else still: seeing that my git mailing list folder has already grown to 363 mails again, of which probably only a small fraction will concern me as a user - would it be possible to have separate mailing lists for usage topics and for discussions of ongoing development? I imagine that might help those who just want to use git (like me) to find their way around. Just an idea ...
