As you well know, the freeze isn't a hard freeze, so considerations like yours are in order, but there is no categorical reasoning against newer upstreams. Nobody yet knows how long the freeze will last, so it might be worth now to expend the effort to put in there a version of Git you are ready to support for 2–3 years. > The only risky bits from “git log --first-parent > maint-1.7.1..maint” > I could find: Of the issues you identify, none look critical. I'd say the by/log-follow feature could/should go in together with the fix, but that's diverting from upstream. jk/url-decode might be good with the patch in pu, but the others aren't necessary, and you'll be best off reverting them.
