I=92d really appreciate a Go implementation of git/hg somewhere down the line. And for the libbio changes, I=92m more opposed to the four functions Bgetle2, Bgetle4, Bputle2, and Bputle4 and the odd use of the BPUTC && BPUTLE4 macros. Those implementations are found in other portions of the code, not specific to libbio, and seem to be grafted on in a slightly off manner. That said, I=92ll gladly change my mind if the p9p, Inferno, and a few other forks of the libbio source give it their blessing. To date, none have chimed in to contribute to the conversation in any way so I=92m more than happy to use a patch in Go to still use Plan 9=92s libbio but pull in the four new functions and the macros and go from there.
