Isn't it better to give Message-ID (perhaps with addition to some archive URLs)? This way one can search his/her own mail archive; also (I think) all git mail archives support finding article with given Message-ID (e.g. http://mid.gmane.org/ for GMane). > * Repositories, branches and documentation. > There are four branches in git.git repository that track the > source tree of git: "master", "maint", "next", and "pu".
