+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2011, #08; Thu, 22)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in
'next'.
-The second large batch of topics for 1.7.9 graduated to 'master', and the
-tip of it should be 85% feature complete for this cycle (modulo fixes and
-tweaks).
+The tip of 'master' is now feature complete for 1.7.9 so I could tag it as
+the -rc0, but I'll let it simmer for several days to give people chance to
+test over the holidays.
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
