Hi,

I would want to start the 1.5.3-rc cycle, after merging

Isn't that Johannesses (and filter-branch)? :-)

FWIW I think that there lies a long road in front of us with 
filter-branch, after submodule is merged in. I have no preference on what 
should go in first, but filter-branch If My Plan Succeeds (TM) will help 
transition from huge imports to subprojects.

So, even if I am not _that_ interested in subprojects myself, I _do_ want 
to enhance filter-branch. IMHO filter-branch is yet another proof that 
cogito -- even if it is now set to die -- was well worth it. Thanks Pasky.

Next plans are: make filter-branch a misnomer: actually be able to rewrite 
more than one branch in one go, writing the outcome to the refs/rewritten/ 
namespace. IIRC that was Hannes' project, but I'll gladly step in there if 
need be.

After that, I imagine automatic subprojects disentangling (maybe somewhat 
related to Alex' suggestion), so you can say "this big project is actually 
a subproject: directories a/, b/ and c/ are self-contained subprojects).

Of course, the nearest future from my POV is to actually implement the 
missing tests :-)

Ciao,
Dscho

P.S.: Junio, wherever you are right now, have a nice time. Hopefully not 
too stressful.
