--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
-Today's 'pu' does not pass tests for me; it seems my box does not like new
-tests for gitweb somehow.
-
-By the way, here is a list of issues without any corresponding topic
-branches yet:
+Here is a list of issues/topics we saw on the mailing list but haven't
+resulted in anything queuable in 'pu' yet. They need further work by
+interested parties:
* Windows relocatable install
Scott Chacon ($gmane/92900, $gmane/92936)
+ * "git commit --author=nickname" expanding nickname from somewhere
+
+ Michael J Gruber ($gmane/93274)
+
+ * Handling (possibly $HOME-) relative paths in config files
+
+ Karl Chen ($gmane/93250)
+
+ * "submodule sync"

[New Topics]
-* jc/no-slim-shell (Tue Aug 19 18:05:43 2008 -0700) 2 commits
- + Build-in "git-shell"
- + shell: do not play duplicated definition games to shrink the
- executable
+* bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits
+ . Use xdiff caching to improve git blame performance
+ . Allow xdiff machinery to cache hash results for a file
+ . Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
+ . Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame
+ . Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
+
+Réne had a good comments on how the callback is structured.
+
+* 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.
+
+* mv/maint-merge-fix (Sat Aug 23 12:56:57 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + merge: fix numerus bugs around "trivial merge" area
+
+* ml/submodule (Thu Aug 21 19:54:01 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ + git-submodule.sh - Remove trailing / from URL if found
+ + git-submodule.sh - Remove trailing / from URL if found
+
+Soon to be in 'master', I guess.
+
+* np/verify-pack (Fri Aug 22 15:45:53 2008 -0400) 1 commit
+ + discard revindex data when pack list changes
+
+* jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 3 commits
+ - git-add --intent-to-add (-N)
+ - cached_object: learn empty blob
+ - sha1_object_info(): pay attention to cached objects
+
+Teaches "git add" to record only the intent to add a path later.
+I think this is better done without the hardcoded empty blob object.

+[Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)]
+
+* sb/daemon (Thu Aug 14 20:02:20 2008 +0200) 4 commits

+ - git-daemon: use LOG_PID, simplify logging code
+ - git-daemon: call logerror() instead of error()
+
+Can somebody who actually runs the daemon standalone comment on this one?
-I've moved the "Stalled" section up so that it grabs more attention from
-people.
+* 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
+
+Needs success reports from people who do use user-defined dynamic library
+path when they build their "git" before this series can go anywhere.
* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
- date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
top one queued is from before that discussion.
-* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
- - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
- - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
-
-The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
-seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
-an optimization only. Resend of fixed-up series is needed.
