+What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #04; Sun, 17)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ - configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches
+ - Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden
+
+* jc/index-extended-flags (Sat Aug 16 23:02:08 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + index: future proof for "extended" index entries
+
+* mz/push-verbose (Sat Aug 16 19:58:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Make push more verbose about illegal combination of options
+
+* mg/count-objects (Fri Aug 15 00:20:20 2008 -0400) 1 commit
+ + count-objects: Add total pack size to verbose output
+
+This one is without the human readable bits.
+
+* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
+
+Linus hints further enhancements as "the right way", so let's see if
+somebody else steps up and tries it before merging this to 'next'.
+
+* sb/daemon (Thu Aug 14 20:02:20 2008 +0200) 4 commits
+ - git-daemon: rewrite kindergarden, new option --max-connections
+ - git-daemon: Simplify dead-children reaping logic
+ - git-daemon: use LOG_PID, simplify logging code
+ - git-daemon: call logerror() instead of error()
+
+Can somebody who actually runs the daemon standalone comment on this one?
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold and/or Cooking]
+
+* ak/p4 (Thu Aug 14 23:40:39 2008 +0100) 14 commits
+ + Utilise our new p4_read_pipe and p4_write_pipe wrappers
+ + Add p4 read_pipe and write_pipe wrappers
+ + Put in the two other configuration elements found in the source
+ + Put some documentation in about the parameters that have been
+ added
+ + Move git-p4.syncFromOrigin into a configuration parameters section
+ + Consistently use 'git-p4' for the configuration entries
+ + If the user has configured various parameters, use them.
+ + Switch to using 'p4_build_cmd'
+ + If we are in verbose mode, output what we are about to run (or
+ return)
+ + Add a single command that will be used to construct the 'p4'
+ command
+ + Utilise the new 'p4_system' function.
+ + Have a command that specifically invokes 'p4' (via system)
+ + Utilise the new 'p4_read_pipe_lines' command
+ + Create a specific version of the read_pipe_lines command for p4
+ invocations
+
+Warmly received by the primary contributor of git-p4; I do not mind
+merging this before 1.6.0 (final call for "Yays").
+
+* mv/merge-recursive (Tue Aug 12 22:14:00 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ - Make builtin-revert.c use merge_recursive_generic()
+ - merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
+ - Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
+
+I do not think builtlin-revert should use "recursive", but these patches
+give a good starting point to separate the bulk of the "rename-aware
+three-way merge" into library form.
+
+* tr/rev-list-docs (Tue Aug 12 01:55:37 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Documentation: rev-list-options: move --simplify-merges
+ documentation
+
+* sp/missing-thin-base (Tue Aug 12 11:31:06 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + pack-objects: Allow missing base objects when creating thin packs
+
+* tr/filter-branch (Tue Aug 12 10:45:59 2008 +0200) 4 commits
+ + filter-branch: use --simplify-merges
+ + Merge branch 'jc/post-simplify' into tr/filter-branch
+ + filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter
+ + filter-branch: Extend test to show rewriting bug
+
+* js/checkout-dwim-local (Sat Aug 9 16:00:12 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was
+ omitted
+
+I like this low-impact usability enhancement; will most likely be in
+master soon after 1.6.0, but not before.
+
+* bd/diff-strbuf (Wed Aug 13 23:18:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits
+ + xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from
+ the caller
+ + Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder
+ + Make xdi_diff_outf interface for running xdiff_outf diffs
+
+Gives measurable performance improvement to textual diff generation. For
+improving "blame" performance, it might be more effective to hook directly
+to lower level of xdiff machinery so that we do not even have to generate
+patch only to discard after reading "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" lines, but that
+would be a separate topic.
+
+* am/cherry-pick-rerere (Sun Aug 10 17:18:55 2008 +0530) 1 commit
+ + Make cherry-pick use rerere for conflict resolution.
+
+* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ + tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory
+
+* kh/diff-tree (Sun Aug 10 18:13:04 2008 +0200) 4 commits
+ + Add test for diff-tree --stdin with two trees
+ + Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees
+ + diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin
+ + Refactoring: Split up diff_tree_stdin
+
+* js/parallel-test (Fri Aug 8 13:08:37 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ + Enable parallel tests
+ + tests: Clarify dependencies between tests, 'aggregate-results' and
+ 'clean'
+ + t9700: remove useless check
+
+* xx/post-1.6.0 (Mon Aug 11 21:45:52 2008 -0400) 7 commits
+ + git-submodule foreach - Include output and clarify usage.
+ + Fix commit_tree() buffer leak
+ + Teach git log --exit-code to return an appropriate exit code
+ + Teach git log --check to return an appropriate exit code
+ + git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand
+ + builtin-reflog: Allow reflog expire to name partial ref
+ + git-am: ignore --binary option
+
+Random collection of patches to queue for post-1.6.0 development.
+
+* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 7 commits
+ - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
+ - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
+ - revision --simplify-merges: make it a no-op without pathspec
+ + revision --simplify-merges: use decoration instead of commit->util
+ field
+ + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
+ + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
+ + revision.c: whitespace fix
+
+"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
+than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
+
+I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.
+
+* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
+ smart HTTP transport
+ - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
+
+The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
+top one queued is from before that discussion.
+
+* jc/add-stop-at-symlink (Mon Aug 4 00:52:37 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+ + update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+
+Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to
+add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link. We would need
+a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule.
+
+* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
+ + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
+ + add --path option to git hash-object
+ + use parse_options() in git hash-object
+ + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
+ + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
+ + teach index_fd to work with pipes
+
+Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
+the path the contents comes from.
+
+* mv/merge-custom (Wed Aug 13 23:32:43 2008 +0200) 7 commits
+ + Update .gitignore to ignore git-help
+ + Builtin git-help.
+ + builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help()
+ + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
+ + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
+ + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy
+ + builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other
+ builtins
+
+* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
+ + git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
+ stepwise merge
+ + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
+ + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than
+ 2 args
+ + merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying
+ merge_bases_many()
+
+* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
+ + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
+ + imap-send.c: more style fixes
+ + imap-send.c: style fixes
+ + git-imap-send: Support SSL
+ + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
+ a git tree
+
+Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
+Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
+so inclined.
+
+* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
+ - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
+
+The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
+seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
+an optimization only.
+
+* jc/add-addremove (Tue Jul 22 22:30:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + builtin-add.c: optimize -A option and "git add ."
+ + builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
+
+* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ + spawn pager via run_command interface
+ + run-command: add pre-exec callback
+
+This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
+process. We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
+status from git is lost from the caller.
+
+* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.
+
+* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
+ variables
+
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
+in 1.7.0.
+
+* jc/dashless (Thu Jun 26 16:43:34 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + Revert "Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local
+ transport"
+ + Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
+
+This is the "botched" one. Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
+timeframe.
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
+ asked for
+
+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 this back for now.
