While I don't care a whit about the other functions, and cannot wait for
merge tracking, there's never been a better motto, IMHO, than "Release
early, release often."

If you push the complete features now, people who need them will have
them, and the features will be six months ahead of schedule in terms of
maturity by the time you release the merge tracking features, due to
bug reports and patches...
