Some minor github-merge improvements I've made over time: User interface: - Print merge details again before signing off, to refresh your memory - usually I'll have done lots of different things in the shell so this will have scrolled out a long time ago. - Require a valid answer on the prompts. One of the requested answers must be typed, if not, the prompt will re-ask. This prevents accidentally rejecting. Efficiency: - Condense "accept merge" and "sign off" prompts. There's no reason to have this as two separate prompts, both are just opportunities to skip out on the merge, no action is performed in between. Merging: - Strip spaces from github title. This avoids redundant spaces surrounding it from getting into the commit message.

Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Debian
Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.
