Junio C Hamano gits...@pobox.com writes: Well that's a chicken-and-egg problem, isn't it. How will a library become widespread unless something uses it? That something will not be the git core itself. Otherwise we will lose a stable reference implementation to catch its bugs. Well, the

I have an unfortunate situation where I have two subversion repositories for the same project, one a public version and one a private version. Because they are mirrors of svn repositories, they have very different histories as far as git is concerned. This is not all that uncommon but of course I
