I did not recall any regression in gitweb JavaScript support topic reported, so I was puzzled about the above quote.

I am aware of an issue around the merge-recursive area reported by you on May 3rd (Message-ID: <BANLkTimcRbuYzSp+MM-vsvxoWhAS8Jvo8Q@mail.gmail.com>, $gmane/172617) [*1*]. I had an impression that the guilty party pointed at by the bisection was already looking into it.

Elijah, any progress on that one?

[Footnote]

*1* This is just my preference but I'd be happier if you gave the Message-Id of the message; it would be easier to find the thread. A reference to marc.info to me means an extra "launch browser only to look at it" and tends to be backburnered when I am busy (and I usually am).
