Yay! I look forward to seeing it. [...]
The first of these commits
consists of a code drop from the private repository just
mentioned. The recent part of this history includes commits by
other authors.That could be a reason to do a subtree merge if you want. A code drop with a commit message that acknowledges the contributors would also presumably be fine. [...]
* How to organize future development? Directly in the Git repo, using the git mailing list, etc? As a fork of the Git project that occasionally issues patches and/or pull requests to the main project? Or as a separate project that does not include the whole Git tree, which is occasionally merged back to the Git project using subtree merge?
My personal preference is that patches come on the git list, are reviewed here, and then go to your fork of the Git project that Junio can periodically pull from at your request (like git-svn). But of course this is up to you, too. Thanks, Jonathan
