Re: [PATCH v8] var: support broken-down idents, signing key, multiple args, and -z

Hi Junio,

Thank you for the guidance, and I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication. I had posted replies on the GitHub pull request and did not realize until now that GitGitGadget does not mirror PR comments back to the mailing list. I certainly did not intend to be silent or ignore your reviews.

I completely agree with your feedback. Packing all of these features into a single commit makes the patch difficult to review and overcomplicates the history.

I will restructure the series for v9 into three separate patches as you suggested:

1. Add the -z output mode to git var (-l and single-variable).
2. Teach git var to accept multiple variables (argc >= 2) with var=value
   output.
3. Expose the broken-out identity components and GIT_SIGNING_KEY.

I will send v9 shortly. Thank you again for your patience and direction.

Best regards, Andrew
