Hey Jonas, don't beat yourself up too much :-) We don't live in a perfect world, and things always go wrong. In the grand scheme of things, this is really not a disaster - just a minor inconvenience for a few geeks ;-) The important thing is we learn from our *collective* mistakes (noone should claim this is the fault of a single person) and move on together in the right direction as a community. And it is clear that you are very focused on fixing things whilst listening carefully to the community. Noone can ask for more from a maintainer, and I for one am very grateful for your efforts. magit is a great piece of software and I'm excited to see what happens over the next few months and years!
