I think I made two minor flubs; there's a git-svn commit with\nan unwrapped commit message (0a1a1c8615 git-svn: call 'fatal' correctly)\nand a \"maint\" topic branch was accidentally based on master.  It merged\nto next that way, but I caught it and cherry-picked only the necessary\nchange into maint.\n\nThere is new content in my tree again today (just pushed there).\nSo we would still appreciate people tracking (and testing) my\nbranches for a bit.\n\nI'll send out a \"what's in\" summary pair around Sunday to help ease\nthe transition for Junio, so he has a summary of what's where.\n\n> *2* Thanks, Shawn.

I honestly do not know\nhow you do it, day in and day out, for as long as you have.\n\nI think I've been tracking about 4-5 hours per day on git maintenance\nlately.  Its a wonder you are able to even write patches.  My hat's\noff to you, sir.  ;-)\n\nAnyway, I'm more than happy to continue playing patch monkey for a\nfew weeks if you want to take a some time and just be a contributor\nagain.  I know you have a number of WIP branches that haven't been\nable to move along... I've been skipping over them with Meta/RB. :-\\\n\nEither way we really should be thinking about freezing and rolling\na 1.6.0.3 soon-ish.\n\n-- \nShawn.\n"}]}
