Feel free to reopen any of the recently closed bugs if you know that
they're still present and not fixed.

_Pleeeeease_ publish that branch somewhere! (Or is this the
wip-cmdline branch? But that seems to be inactive for more than 1.5
years.)

Even if it's just work in progress -- it's important that others can
see progress and maybe even contribute or continue your work.

Does not need to be at alioth, but somewhere with a web interface
would be nice (selfhosted git/gitweb, github, gitorious, you name it).

I must admit, I had already lost faith that this branch exists
somewhere because there were no traces beside the dead 0.6.9-branch at
Alioth and the even older wip-cmdline branch (which I hence ignored).

And I'm sure, this counts for Manuel likewise.

P.S.: I made the same fault in #720186, just at smaller dimensions
which is why Manuel didn't think that stuff still exists. Next time
I'd do a feature branch for this.
