> the rewrite apparently not happening in the open I'm the author of the rewrite. It will almost certainly be open source when it's done, but it is not open right now, because: - the license of the current version has not been properly observed by other projects in the past. - this project keeps getting bashed for "corrupting repositories" and "changing formats constantly", even though it is announced as experimental everywhere (also, some corruption claims have been wrong in the past, and we have released converters every time the formats have changed). Therefore, allowing people to test the new version as it is being debugged would probably not improve this situation.
