A libgit library should be useful for things other than builtin commands. Eventually libgit.a should be similar to libgit2, therefore if libgit2 wouldn't want sequencer.c in it (it doesn't) neither should we want this code in libgit.a. It belongs in builtin/lib.a. If we don't start moving non-library stuff out of libgit.a, libgit.a will never be a library. -- Felipe Contreras -- 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
