I think that is a perfect example, since Hannes worked on it in mingw.git. AFAIR a few comments came through msysGit, and were incorporated. When everything was good for a first go at git@vger, it was sent, and the interface finalized. And I agree that it is a pretty beautiful interface. Ciao, Dscho
