After suggesting[1] an another round that the config-based-hook topic[2] should take a more incremental approach to reach its end goal I thought I'd try hacking that up. So this is a proposed restart of that topic which if the consensus favors it should replace it, and the config-based hooks topic should be rebased on top of this.
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to achieve by sending this series. It was my impression that the existing config-based-hooks topic was close to being ready to submit anyway (since Junio mentioned submitting it a couple revisions ago); rather than churning by reviewing a different 31-patch topic, and then re-rolling and re-reviewing a (reduced) config hook topic, wouldn't it be easier on everyone's time to do a final incremental review on the existing topic and then start in on bugfixes/feature patches afterwards? It would have been nice to see a more clear discussion of patch organization sometime much sooner in the past year and a half since the project was proposed[3], like maybe in the few iterations of the design doc which included a rollout plan in July of last year[4]. To me, it seems late to be overhauling the direction like this, especially after I asked for opinions and approval on the direction before I started work in earnest. Anyway, I'd personally rather spend effort getting the existing series the last few yards to the finish line than to head most of the way back to the start. - Emily
