I haven't heard anything about this series since Elijah's careful review of the RFC. There are definitely areas where this can be made more robust, but I'd like to save those for a follow-up series. Junio: I know you didn't track this in the recent "what's cooking" list, and I don't expect you to take it until I re-roll v3 to include the .gitignore interaction I already pointed out.
