Hi Stefan,

[sorry that your mail to the git-for-windows Google Group got rejected; I want to try to keep this list subscribers-only as long as possible so as not to waste precious time on moderating 20+ spam mails per day, as we used to do with msysgit's mailing list.]

Yes, I actually meant the impact on the bandwidth of the Git mailing list, not the size of the patch series per se, sorry. I think that it is highly valuable what you are doing there, and I wish I had more time to participate in improving it... (but just when I think I have time, another bug report comes in, or some day-job stuff, or Junio releases a new version and I scramble to get a new Git for Windows version out... ;-))

Ciao, Dscho
