Yes it was.

The consensus was what you had in pu (proposed update), which was based 
on the then current git.libusb.org, plus what specifically asked I 
identified as needed on top of pu, which I did provide to you right away 
at [1], plus whatever you may subsequently want to add on your own (or 
requested). As far as I am aware, since I did pick the patches from Sean 
and Xiaofan that we identified on this list as "should have", there 
wasn't anything more that was identified as needed on the mailing-list 
than what I provided in my pu branch.

But for some reason, you appear to have missed some of my pu commits, 
since you re-did the OS-X patches from Xiaofan, whereas I had already 
added them (after fixing).

As I stated, as far as I'm concerned, I do not see the need to add 
anything else for the time being, regardless of what libusb.org does, 
since we should be able to easily catch up once we have the first release.

If we now estimate that, because of the release delay, we should catch 
up, I can of course update my pu branch. But I'd rather make sure that 
if I do that, you are actually going to see these commits and also let 
me know whether you can work with them or not.

As far as I can see, my pu branch is still very much publicly accessible 
and has been so from day one. It also has not been modified in any way.

I will quote the exact mail I sent to libusbx at the time, which was 
less than 24 hours after you asked me to provide a branch with the 
patches I identified as needed:

Well, there's only one branch there ("pu") and the git read-only URL to 
the repo is provided on the page. All the patches I identified as 
needed, after reviewing the various requests on the list, are there. The 
commits are also browsable from the Commits tab [2]. You also quoted the 
URL when Michael asked for it. So I'm quite puzzled.

Can you point to the "tree that disappeared"? What was the URL of that? 
And when did I give it to you? I really don't remember having touched 
the "pu" libsubx repository on github after I gave the link.

I also don't see the check-in comments in my pu tree needing major work 
as the patches are fairly straightforward, but if you think that 
something provided to you is not "in terribly good shape", then please 
don't pull a Peter and keep silent on it: tell us!
