+What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2009, #03; Wed, 15)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
-We are at 1.6.3-rc0; the tip of 'master' might have some unexpected
-minor regressions, and I'd appreciate people to test and report so that we
-can keep this cycle short.
+We are a bit past 1.6.3-rc0, and this report will show pretty much what
+the final should look like from the feature-set point-of-view.
----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
-* mm/add-p-quit (Fri Apr 10 16:57:01 2009 +0200) 1 commit
- - [NEEDS SIGN OFF, DOC, AND REVIEW] git add -p: new "quit" command
- at the prompt.
+* ac/color-graph (Mon Apr 13 15:53:41 2009 -0400) 1 commit
+ + graph API: Added logic for colored edges
-I think this is Ok for 1.6.3, but some duplicated hunks bothered me. I
-did not read the patch really seriously.
+This has been under discussion since before 1.6.3-rc0, hopefully in
+1.6.3-rc1.
-* lt/bool-on-off (Thu Apr 9 12:40:39 2009 -0700) 1 commit
- - Allow users to un-configure rename detection
+* mw/send-email (Mon Apr 13 13:23:52 2009 -0500) 6 commits
+ - send-email: Remove superfluous `my $editor = ...'
+ - send-email: 'References:' should only reference what is sent
+ - send-email: Handle "GIT:" rather than "GIT: " during --compose
+ - Docs: send-email: --smtp-server-port can take symbolic ports
+ - Docs: send-email: Refer to CONFIGURATION section for
+ sendemail.multiedit
+ - Docs: send-email: Put options back into alphabetical order
-The commit log message needs to be cleaned up, the patch needs to be
-signed off, and there probably needs a documentation, but I think
-otherwise this is a good idea.
+Only partially queued, but this is not 1.6.3 material and we are not in a
+hurry.
-* nd/archive-attribute (Thu Apr 9 17:01:30 2009 +1000) 2 commits
- - archive: do not read .gitattributes in working directory
- - attr: add GIT_ATTR_INDEX "direction"
+* jk/cobdoc (Mon Apr 13 07:21:04 2009 -0400) 5 commits
+ + docs/checkout: clarify what "non-branch" means
+ + doc/checkout: split checkout and branch creation in synopsis
+ + doc/checkout: refer to git-branch(1) as appropriate
+ + doc: refer to tracking configuration as "upstream"
+ + doc: clarify --no-track option
-I think this is Ok for 1.6.3 but it needs new tests to protect the new
-feature from future breakages.
+For 1.6.3
-* js/add-edit (Wed Apr 8 23:30:24 2009 +0200) 1 commit
- - git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)
+* mk/apply-swap (Sat Apr 11 21:31:00 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ + builtin-apply: keep information about files to be deleted
+ + tests: test applying criss-cross rename patch
-I am Ok with the general idea, but the error detection needs to be more
-robust than merely relying on --recount.
+For 1.6.3; perhaps needs to be cherry-picked to 1.6.2.X series as well.
-* eb/upload-archive-from-git-shell (Thu Apr 9 21:58:52 2009 +0200) 1 commit
- - git-shell: Add 'git-upload-archive' to allowed commands.

- . get_short_ref(): add strict mode
-
-This is an "obviously good thing to do" candidate for 1.6.3 but had

-as the series is coming from TopGit, I'd ask the submitter to rebase it
-for me ;-)

-This had some conflicts with Christian's bisect topic; I think I resolved

+
