Over two years. Much has happened (including retiring and my mother turning 100). Previously I had exposed this project as an emailed series of three patches. That was not met with universal joy. Ideally, I would like to create a branch on sv.gnu.org. Is that reasonable? Currently, my local branch is named feature/vc-bostr. Is that appropriate, or should it be scratch/vc-bostr? Do I need any special permissions to create and push to a branch on sv.gnu.org? /john
