Junio, brian for the very warm reception of this, it is very encouraging. I am not worried about what it will take time to get the changes I posted into the integration. I had only envisioned them as good enough to get the technical ideas across, and had never envisioned them as being accepted as is. What I am envisioning as my future directions are: - Post non controversial cleanups, so they can be merged. (I can only see about 4 of them the most significant is: bulk-checkin: Only accept blobs) - Sort out the configuration options - Post the smallest patchset I can that will allow testing the code in object-file-convert.c. Unfortunately for that I need configuration options to enable the mapping. In starting to write the tests I have already found a bug in the conversion of tags (an extra newline is added), and I haven't even gotten to testing the tricky bits with signatures. - Once the object file conversion is tested and is solid work on the more substantial pieces. Does that sound like a reasonable plan? Eric
