Re: [PATCH v2 0/1] And so it begins...merge/rename performance work

Thanks.

How ready is the foundation to accept this change?  This will depend
on all of the above three topics and I am not sure what the status
of them is---I think that I've read through the diffcore-rename one
and it was a pleasant read, but I do not recall the reviewer
reactions to the other two.

It does not instill a lot of confidence in these topics that nobody
commented on things like [v2 17/17] of en/ort-directory-rename
(which fixes the code introduced in [v2 06/17] instead of fixing it
at the source before 06/17 copies it from elsewhere [*1*]).  It
looks to me like a sign that these collection of series are moving
too fast than any reviewer to catch up.

Thanks.


[Footnote]

*1* I do not particularly think [06/17] that copies and leaves the
    recursive backend behind is necessarily bad.  What I find more
    disturbing is that nobody seems to have a chance to give any
    look to the two iterations of the series (as far as I can see,
    v2 is just in name only---it removed 18/17 in v1 that were not
    meant to be sent), and we are about to build on top of the
    foundation that nobody knows how solid it is.
