Hi Danh,

I share that distaste. However, is it really productive to bring that up here?

You know what I also hate? I also hate vulnerabilities, and find it _really_ taxing and tiring to work on them. Yet I frequently find myself focusing on security bug fixes. Why? Because it's important.

In this instance, while there's no love lost on CMake from my side, I do see tremendous benefits in having support for it in Git, in particular in supporting Windows-based developers instead of treating them like third-class citizens.

You had so many good and helpful comments and suggestions how to improve the CMake patches, maybe we can have more of those?

Thank you, Dscho
