+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #01; Sat, 06)
+--------------------------------------------------

+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
+in 'next'.

+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

+
+* jc/maint-checkout-fix (Fri Aug 29 13:40:36 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly
+
+This is the same one as the bottom of "better conflict resolution" series;
+it is a bugfix meant to be applied on 'maint'.
+
+* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ + configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches
+ + Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden
+
+I decided to push this forward; it might break minority configurations,
+but it appears nobody pays attention until it actually hurts, so let's see
+what happens when this hits 'master'.
+
+* ar/autospell (Sun Aug 31 15:54:58 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ + Add help.autocorrect to enable/disable autocorrecting

+ + rerere: understand "diff3 -m" style conflicts with the original
+ + rerere.c: use symbolic constants to keep track of parsing states
+ + xmerge.c: "diff3 -m" style clips merge reduction level to EAGER or
+ less
+ + xmerge.c: minimum readability fixups
+ + xdiff-merge: optionally show conflicts in "diff3 -m" style
+ + xdl_fill_merge_buffer(): separate out a too deeply nested function

+* jc/maint-name-hash-clear (Sat Aug 23 13:05:10 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + discard_cache: reset lazy name_hash bit
+
+I spotted this by accident while working on something unrelated.
+
+When a program calls discard_cache() to read the index again, we do not
+properly re-initialize the name_hash structure that is used by the case
+insensitivitly logic. This _might_ improve issues people may be having on
+case insensitive filesystems. I dunno.
+
+* jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + git-add --intent-to-add (-N)
+
+Teaches "git add" to record only the intent to add a path later.
+I rerolled this without the fake empty blob object.

+ + bisect: remove "checkout_done" variable used when checking merge

+ + merge-recursive: introduce merge_options
+ + merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
+ + Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
+
+* jc/diff-prefix (Mon Aug 18 20:08:09 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
+
+As some people may have noticed, I've been running with this one when
+sending out "How about this" patches to the discussion threads.
+
+* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
+ - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
+
+I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.

+
+These are still queued but Alexandre had improvement requests so these
+will likely be dropped.
+
+* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits

+ - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
+ lines
+ - stripspace: use parse_options()

+ - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer

+
+* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
+ variables
+
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
+in 1.7.0, but with the loud whining about moving git-foo out of $PATH we
+have been hearing, it might not be a bad idea to drop this.
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
+ asked for
+
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
+hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.

+What's in git.git (Sep 2008, #01; Sat, 06)
+
+ maint aaefbfa (Update draft release notes for 1.6.0.2)
+ master ec3a4ba (Update draft release notes for 1.6.1)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Quite a many minor fixes appeared on 'maint'. 1.6.0.2 needs to happen
+soon. Any favorite fixes (not feature enhancements) not on the list here?
+
+On the 'master' front, gitk, git-gui and git-svn subsystems had moderate
+amount of updates. Among other things:
+
+ - From gitk you can ask git-gui to show blame, and from git-gui's blame
+ you can ask gitk to show the commit and history;
+
+ - "log --simplify-merges";
+
+ - "commit --author=$name" does not require "A U Thor <author@email.xz>"
+ in full; abbreviated request will look for a matching one in the
+ existing history;
+
+ - "pack-objects" is safer against disc corruption;
+
+
+
+* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
