Where did they go? #caturday
A black cat sits on the floor next to a purple door, with a mirror and white closet doors visible in the background. A gray doormat is in front of the cat. The floor is wooden.

In this latest #curl release, we are now three persons having our names on >10,000 lines of product code when doing git blame. @icing, @vsz and myself.

10 separate people have their names on 1000+ lines.
