+[New Topics]
-* jc/refactor-diff-stdin (2012-06-28) 3 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at ef407ee)
- + diff-index.c: "git diff" has no need to read blob from the standard input
- + diff-index.c: unify handling of command line paths
- + diff-index.c: do not pretend paths are pathspecs
-
-Due to the way "git diff --no-index" is bolted onto by touching the
-low level code that is shared with the rest of the "git diff" code,
-even though it has to work in a very different way, any comparison
-that involves a file "-" at the root level incorrectly tried to read
-from the standard input. This cleans up the no-index codepath
-further to remove code that reads from the standard input from the
-core side, which is never necessary when git is running its usual
-diff operation.
-
-* jn/vcs-svn (2012-07-05) 12 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 1d97a8f)

-* mm/mediawiki-file-attachments (2012-07-04) 6 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 4b85fa2)
- + git-remote-mediawiki: improve support for non-English Wikis
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-03 at 90f2f45)
- + git-remote-mediawiki: import "File:" attachments
- + git-remote-mediawiki: split get_mw_pages into smaller functions
- + git-remote-mediawiki: send "File:" attachments to a remote wiki
- + git-remote-mediawiki: don't "use encoding 'utf8';"

- (this branch is used by mm/mediawiki-tests.)
-
-"mediawiki" remote helper (in contrib/) learned to handle file
-attachments.
-
-* mm/mediawiki-tests (2012-07-06) 12 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 4d874e8)
- + git-remote-mediawiki: be more defensive when requests fail
- + git-remote-mediawiki: more efficient 'pull' in the best case
- + git-remote-mediawiki: extract revision-importing loop to a function

- + git-remote-mediawiki: scripts to install, delete and clear a MediaWiki
- (this branch uses mm/mediawiki-file-attachments.)
-
-* mz/rebase-no-mbox (2012-06-26) 4 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-03 at 5bf5c12)
- + am: don't call mailinfo if $rebasing
- + am --rebasing: get patch body from commit, not from mailbox
- + rebase --root: print usage on too many args
- + rebase: don't source git-sh-setup twice
-
-Teach "am --rebasing" codepath to grab authorship, log message and
-the patch text directly out of existing commits. This will help
-rebasing commits that have confusing "diff" output in their log
-messages.
-
-* tb/sanitize-decomposed-utf-8-pathname (2012-07-08) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 61b12c2)
- + git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
-
-Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
-arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
-that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.
-
-I think there still are other places that need conversion
-(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
-should be a good first step in the right direction.
-
-* tg/ce-namelen (2012-07-08) 1 commit
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 87755d8)

-
-Trivially correct clean-up and micro optimization.
-
-* tr/maint-show-walk (2012-06-19) 2 commits
- (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at c8e0e06)
- + show: fix "range implies walking"
- + Demonstrate git-show is broken with ranges
-
-Fixes "git show"'s auto-walking behaviour, and make it behave just
-like "git log" does when it walks.
-
-Note that this is different from Thomas's patch.
+* sn/doc-typofix (2012-07-14) 1 commit
+ - doc: A few minor copy edits.

+ + rerere: make rr-cache fanout directory honor umask
+ + Restore umasks influence on the permissions of work tree created by clone

- - submodules: don't stumble over symbolic links when cloning recursively
+* cw/amend-commit-without-message (2012-07-09) 1 commit
+ (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at e7c75d5)
+ + Allow edit of empty message with commit --amend
-When "git submodule add" clones a submodule repository, it can get
-confused where to store the resulting submodule repository in the
-superproject's .git/ directory when there is a symbolic link in the
-path to the current directory.
+"commit --amend" used to refuse amending a commit with an empty log
+message, with or without "--allow-empty-message".

+ + Add tests for rebase -i --root without --onto
+ + rebase -i: support --root without --onto

+history down to the root.

+ (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-10 at 1c650c2)

+it never worked as advertised since it was introduced in 1.3.0 era.
+
+* jk/push-delete-ref-error-message (2012-07-03) 1 commit
+ (merged to 'next' on 2012-07-09 at 82c6bd2)
+ + push: don't guess at qualifying remote refs on deletion

+ (this branch is used by tg/ce-namelen-field.)
+
+Even though the index can record pathnames longer than 1<<12 bytes,
+in some places we were not comparing them in full, potentially
