With this I would start to post possible patches for list review.

I am planning to post only a very limited number of patches that could be interesting or that modify someone else work (like in this case, the new Pavel build system).

Is not my intention to add noise to the list, so I will try to keep the patches to the minimum.

In any case, please, Junio, feel free to express any concern about this and I will stop as soon as started!

Thanks Marco
