Well, the whole question here is whether git-subtree can become part of core if it is based on libgit2. It boils down to what you mean by "widespread," I guess. Does "widespread" mean "available as a package in major distributions," "installed by default in major distributions" or something else? -Dave -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
