I don't, that's why I never expected all patches to go in 1.5.6. I sent them together to provide a single coherent series and an aim for a transition plan -- which I'd prefer to work out with the git community, who knows the release mechanics much better than I do. Jeff King's reply to the cover letter is a start towards that; your e-mails are also a start towards that, even though I don't think your transition plan is feasible (also because it would break "git remote update" completely). >> 4) one man's stupidity is another man's...

See the (long) cover letter. > And an acceptable transition plan? > ("Read RelNotes!", yes, you mentioned. Another one?) See above. Paolo
