First, let me thank you for the tremendous impact to the community
your contribution had in the past years.  All of these "hidden from
public" contributions of you have been very valuable, of course, but
I am sure many of us will miss your public contributions, insightful
comments on technical issues, suggestions to pursue possible
different approaches and alternative solutions, encouragements given
to new developers with gentle nudges, and helpful hints to new
users.

The development community wouldn't have been what we have today
without you.  It has been a fun project for me, too, and that's
largely thanks to your presence around here.

I hope that whatever you'd start doing next year is as enjoyable as
working on Git with you has been for me in the past 15 years.  If
you find renewed interest in Git after 5 months' sabbatical, that
would be more than fine, too ;-)
