+What's cooking in git/spearce.git (Oct 2008, #02; Sun, 12)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+gitster's back and I'm expecting he will take over from here.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* dp/checkattr (Tue Oct 7 04:16:52 2008 +0400) 2 commits
+ + check-attr: Add --stdin option
+ + check-attr: add an internal check_attr() function
+
+Batch attr lookup via --stdin, for gitk and git-gui.
+
+* mv/clonev (Thu Oct 9 01:40:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Implement git clone -v
+
+Does what it says it does. This may be ready for master soon,
+its a pretty trivial change.
+
+* gb/refactor-pathinfo (Fri Oct 10 20:42:26 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation
+
+A major cleanup on the way gitweb parses its input arguments.
+Future gitweb patches to add more arguments into the PATH_INFO
+depend upon this initial cleanup work.
+
+* ml/cygwin-filemode (Sun Oct 12 14:44:46 2008 -0400) 1 commit
+ - compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true
+
+I think another version may be coming to reuse the core.filemode
+parsing so this patch isn't in next yet.
+
+* sh/rebase-i-p (Wed Oct 8 01:41:57 2008 -0500) 7 commits
+ - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent
+ - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching
+ UPSTREAM
+ - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo
+ - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges
+ - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing
+ - rebase-i-p: use HEAD for updating the ref instead of mapping
+ OLDHEAD
+ - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents
+
+Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's
+rewrite of `rebase -i` would behave. Its parked in pu because I
+have not had the time to review the series in detail. First glance
+looked OK to me.
+
+* js/keephardlinks (Sat Oct 11 13:45:13 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - Introduce core.keepHardLinks
+
+The value of this change is currently in question, and the commit
+message doesn't justify it very well.
+
+* jn/gitweb-customlinks (Sun Oct 12 00:02:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - gitweb: Better processing format string in custom links in navbar
+
+Waiting for some sort of response from Pasky.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Graduated to "master"]
+
+* mw/sendemail (Sun Sep 28 07:51:21 2008 +0300) 10 commits

+ + Docs: send-email: Create logical groupings for man text
+ + Docs: send-email: Create logical groupings for --help text
+ + Docs: send-email: Remove unnecessary config variable description
+ + Docs: send-email: --chain_reply_to -> --[no-]chain-reply-to
+ + send-email: change --no-validate to boolean --[no-]validate
+ + Docs: send-email: Man page option ordering
+ + Docs: send-email usage text much sexier
+ + Docs: send-email's usage text and man page mention same options
+
+* jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 1 commit

+ + date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
+
+* dp/cywginstat (Tue Sep 30 17:53:47 2008 +0400) 3 commits
+ + cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat
+ + mingw: move common functionality to win32.h
+ + add have_git_dir() function
+
+Performance improvement for Cygwin, bypassing the Cygwin stat
+function and using one more like MinGW uses. Probably ready for
+master on the next round. Several Cygwin users have given praise
+to the series.
+
+* js/objc-funchdr (Wed Oct 1 00:46:34 2008 +0100) 1 commit

+
+The latter three were merged to 'maint' first.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Old New Topics]
+
+* ns/rebase-noverify (Mon Oct 6 14:14:29 2008 +0900) 1 commit
+ + rebase --no-verify
+
+This adds --no-verify to git rebase, to avoid the pre-rebase hook.
+Lacks documentation but otherwise looks sound.
+
+* mv/merge-noff (Fri Oct 3 14:04:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + builtin-commit: use reduce_heads() only when appropriate
+
+Fixes "git merge --no-ff --no-commit".
+
+* ae/preservemerge (Mon Sep 29 22:28:57 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode
+
+* sh/maint-rebase3 (Sun Oct 5 23:26:52 2008 -0500) 1 commit
+ - rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
+
+A prior version of sh/rebase-i-p. This should be dropped.
+
+* pb/rename-rowin32 (Fri Oct 3 12:20:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - Do not rename read-only files during a push
+
+Supposedly fixes pack file renames on Windows, but it makes the
+test suite fail on Linux. I haven't debugged why yet. Its very
+likely we need a replacement patch before this can move forward.
+
+* sp/describe-lwtag (Tue Sep 30 12:03:41 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often
+
+Based on feedback from the list this needs another spin. I will
+post a replacement patch soon.
+
+* gb/formatpatch-autonbr (Thu Oct 2 16:55:39 2008 -0400) 1 commit
+ - format-patch: autonumber by default
+
+Fails the test suite; some of the test vectors need to be updated
+to account for the new default. Someone who cares about this
+change should follow through on the test suite update, or this may
+get dropped.
+
+* jc/merge-whitespace (Sun Feb 24 23:29:36 2008 -0800) 1 commit
+ . WIP: start teaching the --whitespace=fix to merge machinery
+
+This has a merge conflict with `next` and isn't even in pu right now.
+
+* jk/diff-convfilter (Sun Oct 5 17:43:45 2008 -0400) 4 commits
+ - diff: add filter for converting binary to text
+ - diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary
+ - diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code
+ - t4012: use test_cmp instead of cmp
+
+A general cleanup on how diff drivers are implemented. Its still
+missing documentation updates and tests but doesn't break anything
+current as far as I can tell. It needs more review before it can
+be slated for 'next'.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stuck Topics]
+
+* nd/narrow (Wed Oct 1 11:04:09 2008 +0700) 9 commits
+ - grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area
+ - checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
+ - Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse
+ checkout
+ - ls-files: Add tests for --sparse and friends
+ - update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
+ CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
+ - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
+ - ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout
+ - Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
+ - Extend index to save more flags
+
+Recently updated with a repost. I've been too swamped at day-job
+to actively review the series. There has been some discussion on
+list about it so its not stalled, but it needs more eyeballs.
+
+* gb/gitweb-pathinfo (Thu Oct 2 02:10:34 2008 +0200) 6 commits
+ . gitweb: generate parent..current URLs
+ . gitweb: parse parent..current syntax from pathinfo
+ . gitweb: use_pathinfo filenames start with /
+ . gitweb: generate project/action/hash URLs
+ . gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation
+ . gitweb: parse project/action/hash_base:filename PATH_INFO
+
+Still going through revisions on the git ML. Its great work and
+is heading in the right direction. But the discussion and patch
+generation rate is too high to merge the topic into next just yet.
+
+So its waiting for a re-roll of the series once discussion settles
+down and there is a final patch series available.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)]
+
+* pb/submodule (Fri Sep 12 23:09:19 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - t7400: Add short "git submodule add" testsuite
+
+Still waiting for a reroll. Should be dropped next week if we
+don't get one during this coming week.
+
+* 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
+
+(jc: Réne had good comments on how the callback should be
+ structured.)
+
+* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
+
+(jc: I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops
+ with conflicts.)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Will be merged to 'master/maint' soon]
+
+* pb/commit-where (Fri Oct 3 22:13:49 2008 -0400) 4 commits
+ + tutorial: update output of git commit
+ + reformat informational commit message
+ + git commit: Reformat output somewhat
+ + builtin-commit.c: show on which branch a commit was added
+
+I think this topic is settled for now.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Actively Cooking]
+
+* tr/workflow-doc (Sat Sep 13 18:11:01 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ + Documentation: Refer to git-rebase(1) to warn against rewriting
+ + Documentation: new upstream rebase recovery section in git-rebase
+
+(jc: My impression from the last round of discusson on the third
+ patch in this series (not queued here) was that as long as we
+ do not present it as "One True Workflow", the description was
+ a good starting point, possibly others to add other recommended
+ flows later.)
+
+An update came in recently, but I haven't applied it.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold]
+
+* 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
+
+(jc: I started making this incremental but the progress is not
+ so great.)
+
+* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
+ . git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
+ . git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
+ . stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
+ lines
+ . stripspace: use parse_options()

+(jc: The one at second from the tip needs reworking.)
+
+* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
+
+This is a great idea, but IIRC its implementation has a deadlock
+during communication between the peers. Someone needs to pick up
+this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can continue.
+
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental

+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly

+
+(jc: 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
