Mathias gave me commiter rights on the repo (https://github.com/mlafeldt/sharness at that time) one year ago. A few days ago, as I wanted since last December to release v1.0.0, but was uneasy to do so without at least a LGTM from him, I contacted him by private email and he decided to transfer the repo to https://github.com/chriscool/sharness, to give me maintainership and to step down completely. So yeah this is a genuine maintainer change and not an hostile fork at all. (I cc'ed Mathias again so he can confirm if he wants.) > as I did not know git Git test suite was a stand alone thing) I am not sure it qualifies as a stand alone thing there are some differences and for now some features are going from Git's test-lib.sh into Sharness but not the other way around. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
