First, Linus Torvalds passed maintaining git to Junio C Hamano because
he wanted to concentrate on Linux kernel; distributed version control
tool is just the means to do that.  I don't think Linus would want to
be back to maintaining git: it is a hard work.

Second, development and development speeds differ from the "creating"
pre-1.0 stage (for git when it was being written and then maintained
by Linus), and the mature development / improvement stage (for git
being maintained by Junio).

Third, git is now in feature freeze before main release, so it is
better that Junio concentrates on fixing bugs than on longish
discussions or new features.


Last, you don't follow netiquette: you don't know how to cite / quote
properly, you didn't word-wrap what you have wrote, you don't
contribute neither to discussion nor git code.

Have a nice life... in killfile!
