I wonder if it is worth using the fan-out tree structure for the underlying "note" trees, as the notes-index would be the primary way to access them. Not that I've looked at the code too deeply with an intention of possibly including it early. I was hoping to see fixes to d/f code in merge-recursive from either you or Alex instead ;-) - 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
