I understand. And now that upstream Git 2.0.0 is out, it will be very hard
to use that as a deadline to push against. So: don't hold your breath.

Make me an offer :-P

Seriously again, I am in favor of calling it the Git for Windows SDK. But
really, it is bikeshedding at this point. There is real work to do, still,
before we can switch. Lots of unaddressed questions. Too little time.
Speaking of which... budget's depleted for today ;-)
