Isn't that an indication that git-svn is OK as-is? Yes. As long as we know they share the same kind of code structure to use the same library function that wants its callers to stick to a singleton instance, there is a value in using the same structure on the side of our callers, but yes, we can rely on the global $term for it being a singleton. > It could still benefit from cleaning up FakeTerm, since we lazily init > the object since 30d45f798d (git-svn: delay term initialization, > 2014-09-14). But I don't think there's a visible bug here with the new > version of Term::ReadLine::Gnu. True. Let me drop the patch from the 'next down to master fast-track' candidate status. Thanks.
