Here is a brief status update from me. I am back from a Japan trip to attend the one-year-after-funeral service for my stepfather and a vacation. I did not plan to touch keyboard while in there but I ended up giving a 3-hour git talk to about two dozen git users (but none of the people I know from this list) and would-be users [*1*]. I am going through my mailing list backlog, and it will probably be a few more days before I can fully catch up. In the meantime, I've pulled from Shawn, who again did a wonderful job of being an interim maintainer [*2*], and pushed the result out, but I am afraind that my trees will lag behind his for a few more days. If things go well, I expect to ask Shawn to stop applying patches at the end of Sunday and take it over from there. [Footnote] *1* If you happen to read/speak Japanese, you might be interested in these links: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/takagimasahiro/20081008/1223413046 http://d.hatena.ne.jp/kunit/20081004 *2* Thanks, Shawn. Part of me is very much tempted to ask him being an interim maintainer for a few more weeks so that I can see how it feels like to be a contributor again, but I'd refrain from doing so ;-) -- 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
