Just another git repository.  I don't have rights on SF,
nor do I much care for the URL[*]

And I believe git URLs should be treated equally (so I reject
the Embrace, Extend, ... concept of git hosts which add
proprietary features to git).

I'm just keeping my git repo on git://80x24.org/sox up-to-date
so Chris et al. can more easily resume maintenance someday
without having to dig through bug tracker + archives.


[*] Except sf.net makes the usability mistake of having
   "code" as the basename, making the user type more when
    cloning (or end up with a directory named "code").
    Back in the day, gitorious.org made a similar mistake,
    which I think hurt their adoption.

Oops.  Can you propose a standalone commit message which
I can copy and use directly?  Thanks.

(I much prefer commit messages written with the patch
 submission itself, basically, same conventions as
 Linux kernel and git.git development).
