You're very welcome to push tags describing the state of the build and tests to http://repo.or.cz/w/git/gitbuild.git - there's a few scripts there in a side branch. Personally, I'd like it if Junio could check to see if the 'satellite' platforms are happily building and passing the last rc before he tags a final release (with no additional code changes in it!), but that may be too much of the tail wagging the dog. Even though 1.6 builds and passes here, I probably won't push it out in my environment until 1.6.0.2 or so. Mike
