Any hope of the git > mirror becoming the official master repo?) I gather that the current status is that we just need a git expert willing to take the lead on that. There's also a couple of things that need sorting out: Associating commits to mailing list numbers. This amounts to using git notes (see workers/30123) so probably just needs a clear convention. Perhaps we could use a hook script to enforce it on the master repository. Generating the patch level some other way. Using the git hash (or first eight characters of it) would be easy enough but you would lose the ability to compare patch levels and assert which is newer or older. I don't think there is much we can do about that. While git sort-of supports $Id$ style strings it seems that isn't what we should do. For some ideas on what git people appear to recommend, see: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1792838/enable-ident-string-for-git-repos http://git.kernel.org/?p=git/git.git;a=blob;f=GIT-VERSION-GEN;hb=HEAD Does anyone have any idea whether sourceforge makes it easy for an individual to publish forked/cloned git repositories in the manner of github or bitbucket? Or is it better to just keep development branches/threads in the main repository. Oliver
