I have some itches, I will work on specifying them. I have the feeling though, that for solving the daily issues and itches it's not necessary to dig into the core of git. For example, I sometimes create a commit with the wrong email address (I try to separate between work/private stuff) and that annoys me. I think this could be solved by some hook rather than modifying git itself. > I just realized there are some micro projects on the 2014 page > as well which haven't been solved yet. (maybe, they are not > striked through) Yeah, I realized too that there are some points not striked through in [0]. Might be just not up to date, for example number 15. seems to be solved ($gmane//244020). Looking into the code, 14. is solved as well. For 17. there could be something left.
