I've been experimenting with git running on z/OS USS.  It is not yet
stable, but I have had to make a few fixes and generalizations in the
build system to get it to compile.

Would there be any interest in applying such individual compatibility
fixes for this system, even if a full port doesn't reach completion?
If you post patches here, it may help you find like-minded people
who may want to join forces and help you complete the port, so by
all means.

If I pick up a partially completed series and carry it in my tree is
a separate matter.  The patch has to be cleanly done (i.e. without
too many #ifdefs) for longer-term maintainability, and it has to be
clear that the changes do not affect other platforms negatively.
