They have not been forgotten, but I guess those that know about subrepos
have been busy with other things. I have not yet spend time on subrepos,
so I haven't commented on the patches.

The feature freeze has begun, so we're only doing bug-fixes now. I just
looked briefly at your patches, and from their description it sounds
like they are indeed fixing bugs. So I think they can still go in.

Thank you for spending time on the patches!

Releases in open source projects obey a rule similar to the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle: you cannot both know which features a release
will contain, and know when it will be released. You must either decide
on the features and release "when it's ready", or you can decide on a
release date and release with the features that happen to be ready at
that date.

We've chosen the latter with a regular schedule, so if your favorite
feature doesn't make it for 1.5, then you'll have another chance in the
next release cycle.
