Although I would feel very happy about this change, Catalin
might want to be informed about potential interaction this
change might have with his commit 8d41555 in StGIT.

Indeed. Catalin, do you have any suggestion how to proceed? Do you want to
introduce a check if the file exists prior to re-generating it? Or do you
need some version check?

It currently checks whether the file exists and, if it doesn't, it is
re-generated. I think the patch is good idea.

BTW why is StGit not on kernel.org?

Why would it be? Unless you know who to talk to for this :-), it's not
really a derivative of the Linux kernel.

Not that it matters: repo.or.cz has a nice mirror. Pasky, how powerful is
that machine? I am a happy user of the gitweb interface on that box...

Hopefully, when I get a bit of time, I'll try to give up the
http-hosted repository and use Pasky's one exclusively.

BTW, how can I notify people that only pull from the http repository
that it will no longer be updated (rather than them thinking the
development stopped)? One solution would be to create a file with a
meaningful name in the top dir and hope people will notice it.
