Thanks, Dan. This looks good and is a fine compromise
considering the various choices we discussed earlier.
Junio's comments about 2.0 non-withstanding, I think this change
should go into the next convenient release. So 2.1 or 2.0.1;
however the numbers end up working post-2.0.
If you could take a look at Documentation/SubmittingPatches,
and do a few things:
1. Write a nice commit message, say:
git p4: add skipBranchScan to avoid p4 branch scan
Some more useful text.
2. Include at the bottom of that message:
Acked-by: Pete Wyckoff <p...@padd.com>
3. Inline the text of your patch, not just a link to github.
4. Consider adding a t98xx test. This isn't required for
a fairly minor change like yours, but if you think TDD
is fun, have at it. Might protect your feature against
future hackers who would try to break it. :)
Then send it to vger, cc junio (and me), and he will be kind
enough to queue it up appropriately.
Thanks!
