That is fair, and I understand completely. However, please realize that every new user is a new experience — at least for that user — and everyone deserves the best possible experience.

I am really glad that you guys work without deadlines. It’s the ultimate coder heaven.

Honestly it’s not really a matter of being afraid to say we don’t have a date… we never have deadlines and I’m very proud of that really. I just get sick of saying the exact same thing over and over again, it makes me feel like one of those tech support drones at any old company. So I try to mix things up a bit.

Thanks for the toned-down reply with the information I had asked for. I am constantly amazed that people hate saying “I don’t know” so much that they’ll do anything to avoid it (this isn’t an attack on you, just a general statement, although your behavior does seem to fit the description).
Anyway – I do appreciate it; thanks. I hope you all manage to implement it soon. Github is a great service and, from what I’ve read, a great company made of great people.
Take care!

Gah I hate that wordpress doesn’t check the “notify me” box by default.

I’m sorry if that came off as rude, it wasn’t intended to be. We don’t have a timeframe, we never do. Things are done when they are done, they are implemented when they’re implemented. We’re working on the smart http stuff, and when it’s done we’ll make an announcement. Hopefully that’s soon, but it might be later.
