+What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2012, #01; Sun, 3)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
+v1.7.11-rc1 has been tagged. Except for trivially obvious and small
+fixes to older bugs and trivially obvious and small patches to
+documentation, please consider we are in "regression fix only"
+mode. Finding and fixing since v1.7.10 is the top priority.
+
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

not make much sense without the first one that seems to need a bit more
work, so that we won't forget.
+* jk/no-op-push-message (2012-05-30) 1 commit
+ - improve no-op push output
+
+Rewords the status message of "git push" that pushed only one ref
+differently from "Everything up-to-date", to give a bit more help to
+people who get the message when their current branch is not pushed.
+
+It probably is a better idea to add a message that says that the
+current was not pushed to address the problem in a more direct way.

A remote helper that acts as a proxy that caches ssl session for the
https:// transport is added to the contrib/ area.

a large blob object in-core while running index-pack.

-The earlier series was found to regress the more important "cherry-pick";
-I'd prefer to see it fixed, but in case if it does not happen soon, this
-is a fallback measure that can be merged before 1.7.11 final.
