Maybe he'll reply, but in an attempt to save him some time (which I understand I'm taking too much of these days): Getting your patch in is ultimately up to you. So you submitted a patch, got some feedback/review. Through some combination of this thread (mainly <875z0sg8t9.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> and <87o8ejej8m.fsf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>) I suggested making some changes in a v3. I.e. cleaning up some of the semantics (config docs/handling leaking implementation details) and improving the commit message(s) to summarize the trade-offs, why this approach is safe/isn't safe/why it's OK in the cases it's not etc. So, whatever Junio or anyone else thinks of my opinion I think it's fair to say that at this point he's most likely to skim this thread and see that there's some outstanding feedback that hasn't been addressed. "Addressed" means either re-rolling into a v3, or deciding that nothing (or only part of the feedback) needs to be changed and/or addressed. Both/some of those/that are perfectly acceptable approaches, but in either case making things easily digestable to Junio will help your series along.
