Ok, I was not sure, sorry for the noise generated. Will resend post-release.

Say, I would like to participate. This might be a very naive question,
but: What is the "workflow" in regression hunting?
There is this known "git status"-regression, where you seem to be at
least close to a decision:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/288228/focus=288444
What I can imagine could lead towards finding regessions, though maybe a
bit aimless: Go through the list of changes/patches that are supposed to
be included in v2.8.0 and confirm they are working as expected. This
would be like a post-review.
