For now contrib might be OK.
I would one day like to have it as part of the main distribution, too, but it would be nice to prove its worth in the field for a while first. I especially would like to find out how it compares in practice with the work that is in msysgit. > > It means less test exposure, but the robustness of the tests does > > not have to be as high.

Subtree seems to copy substantial parts of t/Makefile, but I suspect you could get away with just using an "include". I'd also be OK with just including a test script that pulls in test-lib.sh, and letting people run it manually (the Makefile infrastructure is really about running a lot of tests, but if there's only one script, it's not so hard). -Peff -- 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
