Nope. orion-ssh2 is not my project, I merely helped ajmas to do a release and
merge known forks into it. At the time, both trilead-ssh2 and ganymed-ssh2 were
unmaintained, so I did not bother letting them know.

Moreover, ganymed-ssh2 does not seem compatible with trilead-ssh2; at the very
least they use a different name space. Purpose of orion-ssh2 is to pick up the
work where trilead stopped, put and end to dozens of random trilead-ssh2 forks
that came to an existence.

That list merely enumerates software that uses trilead-ssh2's private forks or
was in danger of doing so. Plan is to give those projects a chance to migrate
to a community maintained code base so that their contributions don't get lost.

I will to that. If I recall correctly, the only change was a single added
method and one with the same functionality went in via another merger of
another fork, thus getting svnkit to use it is utterly trivial.

I will do that only if Robert agrees, I based this on his package, I wish that
he maintained this, and will not remove functionality without his consent
(despite none of the my packages that are meant to use orion-ssh2 use those).
Robert?
