Actually, it does not work for my situation at all but then my situation is likely not typical enough to be worth catering for specifically. The salient point with me is that my productivity drops by more than a factor of 100 (no, that's not an exaggeration) when having to do something I'm not interested in. Which is the reason my deal with GNU LilyPond where I'm (interrupted by the git-blame episode) basically lead programmer is that LilyPond users give me whatever money they consider my work to be worth to them, and in return I work on whatever I like on LilyPond. Nobody gets to say _what_ I do, and that's to the best of everyone's interest since only that way a reasonable amount of work actually gets done. So I cannot actually provide "services for hire" but it's more like a "themed money sink" I can offer. And in the case of Git, since it does not even appear that there is a continuing base to make it work reasonably in the context of other contributors and their interests, it's more like "oops, I ended up wasting months on your project, but at least there was something to show for it from my side, how about yours?". That's not something one can reasonably put on a "support" themed page. It's actually bloody ridiculous but then that's the sort of handicap I have to organize my life around. Even while it's unpredictable what I end up doing, once I do get something done it tends to be pretty good (there are a few old performance patches of mine in the Git code base where I did not start out from what happens to be pretty awful code and still got considerable return). -- David Kastrup -- 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
