I'm not. I'm just talking about Windows-related changes in git in general, that are expected to be merged into regular git one way or another. If it's something that should be merged, and if it concerns code that I'm interested in, I want to know about it. It's that simple. The fact that _all_ windows discussion used to be in a different area and not on the -git list is past. It was definitely the case that it didn't affect any normal git code, since it was all maintained in a separate tree and the normal git tree was simply not even _relevant_, and didn't even try to be. But that's changed. I think the windows support merge was really quite well done, and was a rather clean series, and no, I don't think the unix people cared about it when there was so much fundamental stuff needed to be done - we didn't have any relevant input. But I'd certainly _hope_ that future windows work is incremental, and at that point it's no longer a "drop the end result on people" situation. Linus
