Let me hack something.
See my next three posts. This patch series is on top of "next" (it does
not apply cleanly to "master", since the format "format:" conflicts...).
Wow, that was quick! Thanks. I haven't built my own git yet, so
testing this may take some time...
Generally, I can sympathise with those who think this feature should
not be in the core git. That would correspond to the cvs2cl tool, it
is an external tool that uses cvs internally. However, having it be
included in core would be simpler for me. I don't care strongly which
approach is chosen (external tool vs included in core), but I can't
switch to git for my projects until this is resolved.
