While I didn't think anyone needed to be cc'ed on the whole series,
but I made some promises at Git Merge 2020 to give some heads up:
* Brian: Patches 13-15 create tree objects, joining other places in
the code such as fast-import, mktree, cache-tree, and notes that write
tree objects. You mentioned something about consolidating these for
sha256 handling.
* Edward: You wanted a heads up when I started submitting the ort
merge backend. Here it is. It doesn't change any on-disk data
structures now or later, though, so I'm not sure libgit2 really is
affected.
* Peff: This isn't a Git Merge 2020 thing, but here's a series that
starts depending on strmap. I'm happy to update and rebase if needed,
but opinions on strmap to prevent us from any API poisoning and such
would be great. :-)
