You seem to have listed only in-flight topics, which may not be a good starting point to think about the issues. A common trait their implementation share may not necessarily be a good thing (for one thing, one trait they share is that none of them is battle tested yet), so you cannot distill their commonality into something we would want to have in the first place. You would need to have existing practices that have worked well for us in the mix. A few examples that may help the discussion go forward are the remote-helper framework and credential-helper. They both call out of Git so that external/third-party enhancement implementations can do things that core-git alone cannot do natively. -- 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
