And I don't mean this to cause offence, or inspire outrage, or any similar sort of thing. I mean this only with good intentions. But Felipe, if you honestly feel that git has stagnated, and that your contributions aren't wanted because we'd rather starve, then perhaps git isn't the right project for you. I'm not saying that you shouldn't work on the git codebase, you could very easily fork it and make the innovative SCMS none of us can see, and kill git. Can be done, if hunting really is the best choice as you say.
