I disagree. Judging from the mails I read on the git list, Junio gets really swamped by patches these days (what with our very productive GSoC students). I really think that we should discuss the patches on the msysGit list first, whip them into shape, and then send them off. Just think of those patches that were sent off, only to realize that they were no longer needed. That should not have happened. My 2p, Dscho
