Please make this a gnulib module

This is nice: I just came across it from working on FontForge, which uses it.

Would you consider making it a gnulib module? That would make it easier for autotools users to find it, along with all the other autotools magic goodness packed into gnulib!

Sure, if it doesn't increase the maintenance overhead significantly. If you know how to do that and willing to maintain (ie. pulling down from github every once in a while) totally go for it.

[rrthomas]

You can do this yourself: just write a gnulib module file and submit it to bug-gnulib@gnu.org. Indeed, there's little reason to keep it a separate project: users who want to use git.mk on its own could fetch it directly from a gnulib git URL, and those who want to use it as part of gnulib can get it with gnulib-tool as usual.

I like to do that, however I'm refraining from accepting new responsibilities. Leaving open in case someone wants to step up.

[behdad]

Thanks though.

You can do this and reduce your current responsibilities: make git.mk a gnulib module, and make gnulib the official source. Then you're only maintaining a gnulib module, not a whole (tiny) project. Users who want to use it without gnulib can still do so.
