That is cool. And it's nice that there seems to have been an upsurge in the quantity of communication from you and other libata developers on this list too. I expect if git catches on then it would be about as effective as most projects which publish their CVS tree and expect people to be able to do checkouts from there. Currently, though, approximately nobody has git tools or any idea how to use it. So my question is, if I did tackle this riddle trail and figured out how to fetch the passthru branch against 2.6.12, what would it buy me? Would SMART just start working? Or would it just confuse the SMART tools until they're updated? Or would it just crash my machine? -- greg
