Believe it or not, I'm working on some patches for Git that, I
believe,
should help a lot when it comes to handling Cc: addresses. Would you
like to be included in the list of recipients for those Git patches,
so
you could, hopefully, provide some feeback?
You may Cc me if you want to, but I can't guarantee I have time or
valuable input to that.
Thanks, I'll be happy to have another set of eyes on those Git patches.
