We do not usually add new features to maintenance tracks, so the result of applying the patch does not have to be merge-able to maint or amything older. I would base the patch on v1.7.12 (the latest stable release) if I were you. > - I read that git-prompt.sh is meant to support bash and zsh, I have > only tested it on bash.

That is something you should ask on list, like you did here, but the most effective way to do so is do so when you send a patch you worked on and tested with bash. Say "I've tested it only with bash; can you please take a look?" and Cc the folks you find in the output of "git log contrib/completion/" who worked on making it workable with zsh. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
