I have a mild preference for a syntax that is more similar to the on-wire protocol, so that connect.c::parse_feature_value() can be reused to parse it and possibly annotate_refs_with_symref_info() can also be reused by calling it from transport.c::get_refs_from_bundle(). -- 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
