I'm never quite sure whether I should speak of the command or the code
unit in this edge case, but this message here seems to indicate that it
would be preferable to mention the actual command instead.

Either is probably fine, but when the commit describes a fix or an
update to an end-user observable behaviour, the command name would
make a better label to appear in "git shortlog".

I'll review this patch series later this week.

Thanks.

 Will merge to 'next'?
 source: [ref]

Toon left another comment that I'll want to have a look at before
merging this to "next".

I guess we now have a hopefully final reroll, which I saw and picked
up.

 Introduce a new API to visit objects in batches based on a common
 path, or by type.

 Comments?

I think what's interesting in this case is the incompatibility between
the path-walk API and bitmaps. It seems like there is some push back
based on this, but from my point of view the path-walk API still has
uses where bitmaps don't matter that much, like in the proposed new
git-backfill and git-survey tools. Both of which are of interest to me.

Yup, I didn't have a chance to carefully read what the new code does
yet, and didn't get an impression that anybody did either for v1 or
v2, but I may be mistaken.

Chris is currently writing such a doc that tries to clarify the bigger
picture. So I guess we can evict this topic for now, start to discuss
the vision and then once we're all on the same page start to think
re-submit the topic.

I've Cc'd him in case he disagrees with me.

Then I'll wait for Christian to speak up.

I've already reviewed this version and expect a (probably final) reroll.

Thanks, I saw that (hopefully) final reroll and picked it up.

Thanks.
