Well, not being familiar with libnetfs, I unfortunately can't really
tell whether the code makes sense.

I didn't discover any obvious errors when looking at it -- but then,
it's not surprising, considering that most of the code seems to be
template code more or less directly copied from some other translator(s)
:-)

I must again point out that if you copy code, you should mention (below
the copyright line) that the code is based on ftpfs (or whatever it is
based on), and include the copyright notice from the orignal file.

Aside from that, you are not following conventions in the commit
messages (which has very adverse effects on some git tools): You should
start each commit message with a single line summing up the commit, a
blank line, and only then a detailed description what you changed.

If you find that you can't sum up the commit in a single line, this most
probably means that you have several individual changes, which should
actually go into seperate commits... From what I saw, this is often the
case.

Also, please check the diffs more closely before comitting: In several
commits you have changes that aren't mentioned in the commit message,
and in fact seem totally unrelated to the rest of the commit...

BTW I wonder, why are you keeping build logs in git?...

I can't really comment on that -- I have no idea what these do :-)
