You're probably onto something, but I'm missing the point in your message. Could you repeat, carefully explaining: - what change you would like to propose in git - whether it is backward compatible, and if it is not, what transition plan you propose - briefly, the rationale behind the change, in such a way as to convince skeptics like me that it is a good idea and to recruit us to help in your cause ? For that third part, a good example to take inspiration from is the project to improve Linux to function as a real-time operating system. Each change is so well justified _individually_ that someone not interested at all in that goal can still not help but agree with the changes! Perhaps your message includes these elements already, but I found it hard to follow, hence this request. Thanks, Jonathan
