That's the conclusion I came to. Moving it to a first-class command should be pretty simple when the time comes. > But more important than the physical layout is the maintenance plan > going forward.

I am still waiting to hear from Avery on that. I will ping him again. My intention is to certainly participate in maintenance. I use git-subtree daily so it's in my interest to keep it working. I plan to send patcher to git@vger. I don't think a pull would be practical given the removal of redundant files and other things. -Dave
