I'd be interested in seeing this land. I think I can read through
review comments
and split the cleanups from the addition of long-form options (both of which I
think are generally improvements), but without signoffs in the original commits
I feel like I might be overstepping on the intellectual property---and I
certainly wouldn't want to cause licensing trouble for Git.
What's the usual way to proceed in a case like this?
PS enjoy the vacation Junio---I'm hoping someone else will reply so that you
don't need to :)
Cheers,
Ben
