On the other hand we could start with a subtree merge and later switch. In any case, the answer to Josef's question is to make sure I won't hear objections on the list that say "No, the stuff is still too premature to live in git.git itself and needs this and that fixups to be usable for the general public." ;-) IOW, keep up the good work. Gathering a bit more followers, preferably outside this mailing list (such as wine, x.org and/or the kernel community), would not hurt.
