Yes - I'll do that too :)  I've finally worked out how to keep the
different branches functioning in git, so I'm going to pull a 2.2
branch into git and do some work on that too.  In particular I'd like
to backport the skiplist bugfixes to 2.2 just so people stuck with it
can at least have stable databases!

I'm still planning to have the bulk of my changes ready by April - it's
sneaking up faster than I thought, but deadlines are good for keeping
us honest!  I'd like to do a "beta" release in April anyway.
