That offer is still open. (Though I would appreciate ongoing development
help from people who use non-Linux operating systems, since file locking
works differently there and I don't have the resources to test on
those.)

I don't see a need to horse around with Git either :-) It's currently in
Subversion, right? Can you not export the VCS history from Google Code's
Subversion repository to a ‘fastimport’ stream? Maybe someone with
experience on that site can help us.

Thanks for the responsible move to seek adoption for these projects.
