However, I largely agree with your comments. The biggest work is what you have done previously in trying to simplify and rationalize dependencies on curl versions. My patch only extends your work by adopting the curl maintainer best practices for doing the same thing, although I had to adapt them to the schema you introduced. But I don't see it as a problem. So my patch does not introduce any ad hoc version of these dependencies but the choice made upstream, which I think may be worth in terms of extensibility and future maintenance. Initially I wanted to release the tool I made to produce git-curl-compat.h indeed but symbol-in-versions has no information on the release dates of the various curl versions and even if a symbol is an enum or not: so so i left your comments where they were That the biggest job is what you (or whoever gets to work on it) have done working on the git source is no doubt for me. My contribution, much smaller, just wanted to enhance what you had done. If my patch is completely useless or not I leave it to the git community, including you, of course. Anyway at least the Junio fix I put in the other patch I think is a good thing anyway. Thanks and sorry again for the delay in replying. Elia
