UGh... At the moment, I know nothing about the whole debugging
feature. I will look into it, eventually. Greg OTOH has some insight,
so if he says it's good, I will believe to him. He's a tools expert
anyway. I suppose it's not an obstacle for you if it's not accepted
for a while (after all this is Git...). I mean, for some days. If it
is, tell me.
