I most definitely am _not_ planning to invest any more time into Git since even designing such plans would be throwing good time after bad time. And I don't have a web presence anyway. As it does not appear that there is any realistic manner in which Git users could even be made aware of a connection between monetary requirements and work for a freelancer like myself, I'll be just writing this off as a one-time mistake on my part given my personal situation. It's not the first, and it will certainly not be the last, but at least I can avoid doing the same mistake twice on the same project.

There are some low-hanging fruit for further speeding up git-blame now that its internal thrashing has been addressed. I will point out those low-hanging fruit so that anybody can follow up on it and do all the arguing and benchmarking required to go anywhere and get the credit for it.

But that's as far as my willingness to "do the right thing" will carry. If nobody picks up either the tab or the rather simple followup tasks, then that's what the community and customer base of Git is capable of sustaining and I'm not in a position to change it.
