Msysgit has apparently 60 members, at least according to http://groups.google.com/group/msysgit. It was that number to which I was referring.

I saw that this message was cross-posted to git@vger.kernel.org, which no doubt has many, many more than 60. Perhaps this is where the 853 figure comes from?

You're right, many people probably *would* be unaware of the convention on anything other than a small list, i.e. 60 members. ;)

If the list were bigger, say for instance 853, the solution I proposed would be too cumbersome.

Those 853 members are on msysgit or git@vger.kernel.org?
