I don't know what happened to those patches (check mailing list archive), but most probably it was not accepted because it didn't provide a way for scripts to use this functionality, for example via --path option.There were several rounds, and I thought it was shaping up, but then no more rounds came. I assume that Karl lost interest (or perhaps we nitpicked him to death), but I thought at the end of the thread Junio laid out a plan for the next revision. I guess nobody cared enough about the feature to implement it after that (though I think I found the final version acceptable with a minor documentation tweak, I think Junio laid out a cleaner approach). The last patch is here, with one of the replies from Junio giving the aforementioned plan: http://mid.gmane.org/quack.20080829T0229.lthhc94rwyr_-_@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
That looks roughly like the way I'd have done it. I'll see if I can find the time to polish it up a bit. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.ericsson@xxxxxx OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
