Indeed, by sending reviews about earlier patches in this series, it somehow triggered Gmail to think that I was spamming you, hence Gmail thenceforth refused to deliver all subsequent emails to you (and several other Gmail addresses in the recipient list, including Ben and GitGitGadget). Hence, you would (presumably) have only received my review emails and other responses indirectly via the Git mailing list itself (assuming you are subscribed). As far as I know, Gmail still considers my email address as being a spammer to you, so I'm using a different email address to respond here.

Would the name `gitcore` or `git-core` be suitable?
