I like this series. I haven't had time to test it myself yet, and probably won't be able to do so before Junio merges it into a pu or next release. But it looks OK on a first read. It is unfortunate that we are changing the index file format without also bringing in packv4 support at the same time. I have just been too swamped in useless bulls**t in day-job work to spend time on Git lately. -- Shawn.
