Isn't it in master already?

Hmmmm... wouldn't it be nice to have more tests?

It might be considered bugfix, but IIRC it is still cooking,
so perhaps it wouldn't be absolutely ready for 1.6.2

It would be nice to have for gitweb... especially if it is a merge
commit that gets the blame (which I guess should happen only for 'evil
merge' case).

I wonder what are the limitations: I guess that importer has to be
incremental (and probably store additional info, or at least cache
it).  IIRC the example was for Perforce; much more interesting would
be to have example for Subversion, I guess.

This is certainly something that it would be nice to have.

The fact that discussion stalled is largely my fault as reviewer
wanting for this series to do too much 'by the way' changes, and
preparation for further changes.

I don't know when I would have time to actively work on this, but I
have it in my repository, so it wouldn't vanish

I recall that medium level wasn't that much faster, isn't it?
