+What's in git.git (Apr 2009, #01; Thu, 09)
+
+ maint db12d97 (Start 1.6.2.3 preparation)
+ master e37347b (Update draft release notes to 1.6.3)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+We have quite a few documentation fixes accumulated on the maint branch
+perhaps a new maintenance release 1.6.2.3 mid next week.
+
+On the 'master' front, there are currently 6 topics cooking in 'next' all
+of which look quite good. I'll probably tag 1.6.3-rc0 with them and keep
+cooking what are in 'pu' for 1.6.4 cycle.
+
+* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
