Dear diary, on Sat, Jul 16, 2005 at 07:46:00PM CEST, I got a letter where Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> told me that...

I hope to get to it tomorrow but it now occurred to me that I don't know when do you actually want to release 1.0 and I think it's crucial for it to support some sensible HTTP transport - I saw some scripts going in etc, but what's its current state? Is it usable?

Note that I really _loved_ the Daniel's tools while they lasted. What I loved most about them was that they really only pulled objects I needed and not a single worthless one. Does the current HTTP transport share this property?

Note that I also want to setup a simple "proof-of-concept" GIT homepage tomorrow. Well, write it, where it should be hosted can be worked out later and I have places for it to reside at for now. (Suggestions for final hosting welcome. In reality, how nice (and persistent) the URL gets is probably the only thing that really matters. My attempt will live at http://git.or.cz/.)
