Thanks for another delightful blog post. Like I mentioned off-list, I am
really impressed with your progress, and in your ability to reach out
across multiple projects in order to make substantial licensing changes.

I'm looking forward to hearing how things go with the CRoaring folks,
and to helping out where I can. I think that the final implementation of
Roaring bitmaps into Git's reachability bitmaps will be higher quality
because we're able to rely on existing libraries.

Thanks again for all of your hard work. I have your lookup table series
on my list to review right after this, and I think that that should be
getting close to being ready.

Well done!

Thanks,
Taylor
