* lh/systemd-timers (2021-07-02) 3 commits
  - maintenance: add support for systemd timers on Linux
  - maintenance: `git maintenance run` learned `--scheduler=<scheduler>`
  - cache.h: Introduce a generic "xdg_config_home_for(…)" function

  "git maintenance" scheduler learned to use systemd timers as a
  possible backend.

  Waiting for reviews.

I just took another look at this series and see that there were a few
items that have yet to be addressed. CC'ing Lénaïc and reviewers to
see if those items will come in a v8. Here is a quick summary of my
understanding:

* There are some non-ASCII characters in a code comment that are a
   bit non-standard and could be replaced with ASCII representations.
   (nit, but if re-rolling already this might be worth doing.)

* There is some discussion about using string_list_split() instead
   of hand-rolling a string splitter. Discussion decided that we
   should _not_ use strbuf_split_buf(). It would be nice to later
   create a version of strvec_split() that takes an arbitrary
   delimiter, but isn't necessary for this series.

* There was some discussion about using #ifdef to make certain
   logic be compiled in or not. This seems (to me) less important
   in the case of returning 0 or 1, but in the third patch there
   is a large set of logic that is only compiled on Linux, which
   seems like it should match the pattern of the other methods,
   if possible.

Again, this is just my drive-by summary, but hopefully it renews
work on this topic.

I think that is a fair summary, I'd be happy to see us take this series as-is, the code is fine and any small warts could be cleaned up in the future. I think Eric expressed a similar opinion in [1]. Lénaïc has been responsive to fixing bugs as well as taking on board other comments, I think we've reached the stage where it is not reasonable to keep asking for small changes.

Best Wishes

Phillip
