 OK, that's three. :-)

I'd also appreciate each change pushed to the devel git branch.

Having 20 years of history in the coreutils git repo
has been invaluable for ongoing development.

thanks,
Pádraig.

The git `devel' branch on savannah now has weekly snapshots up to the
end of 2011.  This is pretty close to an up-to-date look at the current
state of the bash development tree.

There is now a `devel' branch on the git tree, starting with bash-2.05b
and bash-3.0-alpha.  There are regular (mostly weekly) snapshot updates,
each a separate commit to that branch.  I'm currently up to bash-4.0,
which represents about five years of work starting in January 2004, and
I'm updating as frequently as I have the chance.  Each intermediate
release (e.g., bash-3.2-beta) for which I have a copy is a separate
commit; the milestone releases I don't have are marked with tags to
the appropriate weekly snapshot commit.

Take a look if you're interested and let me know what you think.

Anyone wanting to propose a patch would like to prepare it against the
most recent state of the tree.  And afterwards they are curious to see
whether and how the patch made it into the repo.

I can't say I'd be really interested, but I surely would be curious,
and would greatly appreciate the possibility of peeking into the bash
developement process.

Apart from that, having a proper, faithful and easily avaiable VCS
history would surely help future (so far only hypotetical) maintainers
or co-maintainers of Bash.  I can say this from experience, since my
work as (relatively recent) automake co-maintainer has been and
continues to be greatly helped and by the well preserved and fairly
complete history in its source repository (history that, BTW, has
been successfully preserved in the transition from CVS to git).

Regards,
  Stefano

 do you plan on continuing development on the internal tree, or would you be
