I would explicitly like to thank Junio for being so patient, imperturbable, and helpful (not to mention hard-working!). His prompt and always thoughtful feedback was one of the big reasons that I got involved in Git development in the first place.

In particular, I would like to say that I am in 100% disagreement with the criticism of Junio that some people have deFeCated onto the list recently [1]. Junio, please don't for a minute think that the trolls' opinions are shared by others [2].

[1] Actually, it was only one person. [2] Actually, it is only one troll.
