But it is one line change; the real work was the analysis. Well, the original git/pull/7 in msysgit repository says that is a patch by Theodore, so the kosher thing to do is to ask him (and I see he is on the Cc list), and also ask msysgit folks (and I see they are on the Cc list as well) to be a bit more careful when responding to pull requests, especially given that it is our mutual benefit to make sure we keep the changes between our two trees to the minimum by upstreaming. I'll queue without the forged sign-off by Theodore, as I think DCO (1.1) (c) read loosely would let me do so ;-) Thanks. -- 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
