Ok, we'll have to agree to disagree then.  I just know that I hate those
version conflicts in other (proprietary) git repos I'm using.  But since
I'm probably not going to have to deal with it anyway, I guess that as
long as you're happy with it, I'm sure it's going to work out..

BTW, your log of the maint branch in git.git does not show how they
handle the version merge conflicts (or if they merge maint into master
at all, I have zero knowledge of how git uses their maint branch).

Cheers,
