+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2011, #01; Fri, 2)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
+Some of the recent patches are fixes to new feature topics already merged
+to "master" and are being fast tracked for 1.7.7-rc1, but otherwise
+patches for new features and fixes to longstanding issues will stay in
+'pu' or 'next' until the 1.7.7 final.
