So it is not your run of the mill typo fix, the bundle issue is something that clearly receives a lot of interest in particular from developers who are unfamiliar with the idiosynchracies of the code Git development. And I got the very distinct impression that Git would benefit a lot from these developers, *in particular* since they come with fresh perspectives. Now, we can make it hard for them (e.g. expecting them to sift through a few months' worth of What's Cooking mails, to find out whether there has been any related work, and what is the branch name, if any, and where to find that branch), and we can alternatively make it easy for them to help us make Git better. I would like us to choose the easier route for them. Because it would benefit us. Ciao, Johannes
