No. Imagine you were adding a new function to git-svn.perl and wanted to kn= ow why your addition that looked somewhat similar to what Josef sent did n= ot work as you expected. We should be able to answer such a question, don't you think? People often seem to badmouth this list as git develper's list that is unfrien= dly to end users. I don't think that is true, but even if that were true (= or especially if that were true), shouldn't we be try to be friendly at le= ast to a potential developer who tries to learn and use Git.pm module?
