Re: History for Strbuf and ParseOpts?

David Chanters [off-list ref] writes:

I shouldn't conflate to two (parseopts and strbuf) but can someone
tell me how these two things came about -- that is, when/why/how?  If
I understand strbuf correctly, it's a transparent and dynamic way of
handling strings?  If so, how useful would it be as a separate
project?

I don't have a pointers to exchange of emails that started the road to
strbuf and parseopt, but both are described in the techical
documentation (GIT API Documents):
