My personal motivation would be building Git for Windows while spending as little time on Windows as possible. People deploying git to 32-bit x86, 64-bit x86, and ARM (think "ARM laptops") might also find it handy. >> - incorporation of the cgit web interface, or formalizing a subset of >> libgit.a to export as a stable library to it > > I didn't understand this: you want cgit in-tree?

Are you sure that's not because of the poor current state of collaborative notes editing? Some example use cases: - marking regressions discovered later, to warn people bisecting or cherry-picking - matching up to corresponding commits in another repository - link to corresponding mailing list discussion, blog post, or related patches - a wiki-like document storing review comments - marking which CVE this fixes, once the CVE number has been allocated - "a tour of the project" for new contributors, using explanatory notes that end with a mention the next commit to look at I'm not married to the current implementation, but I think the basic idea of "git notes" is a promising feature that could use some polish.
