I wonder if git has a "git-todo" page somewhere, either in its docs, on on web somewhere.

The reason I ask about "git-todo" is becase I contributed couple of patches to vim in the past, and that's because vim has the todo-page (vim->:help todo). So when I had free cycles, I looked into vim-todo, picked an item that I could do, wrote a pacth, and sent it in. (Only the main maintainer of vim puts things into todo list).

In the earlier days, omissions were seen on surface. Now that git matured, things to add or fix are not obvious. The todo doc is great place to have requested-fixes/wishes recorded. That's because those people who hit the problems do not necessarily have time/desire to fix them, and someone who has free cycles to write code might not hit himself the problem that others hit.

Another usefulness [of todo doc] is that it allows to clearly label 'not implemented yet, but it is in the todo' things (for example -- ability to keep empty dirs in the tree).

The todo list works by giving directions to those who have time to write patches.

Does git have todo-list ?
