[New Topics]

There are a few misc topics of mine that I'd like to ping on:

  - jk/contrib-subtree-make-all; you picked up the topic, but it's not
    in pu or "what's cooking". Just forgotten, I think?

Correct, I think. Will requeue.

  - jk/send-pack-many-refspecs; this is in pu, but I didn't see it in
    "what's cooking". I'm concerned that the "ulimit" test gave you
    trouble and you punted on it. :)

It was picked up after the day's edition of "What's cooking" was
written, or something, I think.

  - "fast-export --anonymize"; I noticed you didn't pick this up at all.
    I agree it has yet to prove its worth, but I wonder if it is worth
    shipping it (possibly labeled as experimental and not to be depended
    on) to get it in the hands of users. The intended use is getting bug
    reports from users, who are not always savvy enough to pick up (and
    possibly rebase) a patch from the list. I dunno.

I was waiting for the topic to calm down a bit, without knowing if
there will or will not be a reroll with some low-hanging fruit
enhancement based on the discussion, to avoid an "oops, need to
replace the one I queued but haven't pushed out yet with the new
reroll".

Thanks.

Ah, sorry to nag, then.

Makes sense. I think the v2 I sent[1] is OK, and as far as I was
planning to take it for now (there were some other possible enhancements
discussed, but I think those can happen in-tree if somebody feels like
working on it).
