Haven't thought things through, but my gut feeling is that it is on the other side of the line. We could of course add more features and over-engineered mechanisms, and the implementation may end up to be even modular and clean, but I cannot answer "Yes" with a confidence to the question "Does such a fine grained control help the users?" and cannot answer "If so in what way?" myself. -- 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
