This looks good and is a fine compromise considering the various choices we discussed earlier. Junio's comments about 2.0 non-withstanding, I think this change should go into the next convenient release. So 2.1 or 2.0.1; however the numbers end up working post-2.0. If you could take a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches, and do a few things: 1. Write a nice commit message, say: git p4: add skipBranchScan to avoid p4 branch scan Some more useful text. 2. Include at the bottom of that message: Acked-by: Pete Wyckoff <pw@xxxxxxxx> 3. Inline the text of your patch, not just a link to github. 4. Consider adding a t98xx test. This isn't required for a fairly minor change like yours, but if you think TDD is fun, have at it. Might protect your feature against future hackers who would try to break it. :) Then send it to vger, cc junio (and me), and he will be kind enough to queue it up appropriately.
