+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2008, #01; Sun, 02)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
----------------------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
+* mv/maint-branch-m-symref (Sat Nov 1 00:25:44 2008 +0100) 5 commits
+ + update-ref --no-deref -d: handle the case when the pointed ref is
+ packed
+ + git branch -m: forbid renaming of a symref
+ + Fix git update-ref --no-deref -d.
+ + rename_ref(): handle the case when the reflog of a ref does not
+ exist
+ + Fix git branch -m for symrefs.
+
+* rs/blame (Sat Oct 25 15:31:36 2008 +0200) 5 commits
+ - blame: use xdi_diff_hunks(), get rid of struct patch
+ - add xdi_diff_hunks() for callers that only need hunk lengths
+ - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
+ - blame: inline get_patch()
+
+* ds/uintmax-config (Sun Oct 26 03:52:47 2008 -0800) 2 commits
+ - Add Makefile check for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY
+ - Build: add NO_UINTMAX_T to support ancient systems
+
+I amended the topmost one to widen the applicability of this new feature
+to all FreeBSD 4.*, not limited to 4.9-SECURITY; testing before this hits
+'next' is appreciated.
+
+* ds/autoconf (Sun Nov 2 01:04:46 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - DONTMERGE: fixup with a convenience macro
+ - autoconf: Add link tests to each AC_CHECK_FUNC() test
+
+The topmost one is my attempt to simplify the new way of checking; the
+resulting configure.ac produces the identical configure script with or
+without it, so I think it is Ok, but testing before this hits 'next' is
+appreciated. If all goes well, I think the two should be squashed into
+one patch.
