I am too swamped with other things (most importantly, automate the identification of the as-of-recent-quite-frequent breakages reported by my build jobs). I know that one of my colleagues wanted to have a look at it, and so I thought that having it as an experimental feature that I could even integrate into Git for Windows for a wider audience could help justify alotting the time. > Otherwise I'd prefer to drop it---at this point, the series is merely > "just because we can", not "because we need it to further improve this > or that". Oh, I thought that this was meant as a starting point for anybody interested in playing with resumable clones or with easing server loads. In any case, I just wanted to be sure that you considered making it an experimental feature instead of dropping it. Just in case that you did not think of that as a possibility. Ciao, Dscho
