libswd.git is a bit of a mess commit-wise. It could be much much
worse but it's also not clean. I know that you know this already
Tomek.

There's 82 commits between openocd.git and libswd.git, and as-is they
unfortunately have no chance of making it into openocd.git, already
because of the sheer time required to parse them. All will most
likely have to be rewritten, in the git terminology sense, not
neccessarily in the source code editing sense.

For one, the commit messages desperately need to be improved so that
it's possible to look at git log --oneline and make sense of what is
going on. I've already written fairly detailed guidelines for commit
messages: http://marc.info/?m=131698532523018

Don't get me wrong, your work will be included in openocd.git at some
point, but the existing commits will not.

The work on fixing up your commits is *completely* separate from your
further work on libswd! This is very important. The current situation
is an excellent opportunity to get involved for someone who is
interested in contributing to OpenOCD, and the effort to rewrite the
commits can effortlessly be parallellized with Tomek's further work
on libswd.

Some or perhaps even many commits could be forward ported to current
master without causing any trouble, and would be a great way to help
in a very concrete way with getting SWD support into OpenOCD.

Feel free to ask on or off list if you have any questions about
details. It helps to be perfectly fluent in basic git and eager
to learn more advanced git.
