+What's cooking in git.git (Jul 2009, #03; Wed, 29)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
+only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
+marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
+holding onto them.
+
+In preparation for rewinding 'next' after a major release, one topic was
+reverted and kicked back to 'pu' to give it a fresh start.
+
+After the 1.6.5 cycle, the next release will be 1.7.0, and we will push
+out the planned "push safety" change. 1.7.0 would be a good time to
+introduce "justifiable" changes that are not strictly backward compatible.
+
+During 1.6.5 cycle, 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.
+I've already merged the "diff --exit-code --ignore-whitespace" change and
+"push safety" change.
+
+I'll rewind 'next' sometime this weekend.

+
+* ne/futz-upload-pack (Wed Jun 10 01:50:18 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack
+
+* js/run-command-updates (Sat Jul 4 21:26:43 2009 +0200) 6 commits
+ + receive-pack: remove unnecessary run_status report
+ + run_command: report failure to execute the program, but optionally
+ don't
+ + run_command: encode deadly signal number in the return value
+ + run_command: report system call errors instead of returning error
+ codes
+ + run_command: return exit code as positive value
+ + MinGW: simplify waitpid() emulation macros
+
+* sb/maint-pull-rebase (Sun Jul 19 09:45:16 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ + pull: support rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase
+ + t5520-pull: Test for rebased upstream + fetch + pull --rebase
+
+* jc/1.7.0-diff-whitespace-only-status (Sat May 23 01:15:35 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
+ + diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
+
+This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends
+when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but
+we could argue that it is a bugfix.
+
+* jc/1.7.0-push-safety (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 2 commits
+ + Refuse deleting the current branch via push
+ + Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via
+ push
+
+This is old 'jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0' and 'jc/1.7.0-push-safety'
+topics redone.
+
+* sb/read-tree (Thu Jun 25 22:14:10 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ + read-tree: migrate to parse-options
+ + read-tree: convert unhelpful usage()'s to helpful die()'s
+
+* sb/parse-options (Tue Jul 7 22:15:41 2009 -0700) 4 commits
+ + prune-packed: migrate to parse-options
+ + verify-pack: migrate to parse-options
+ + verify-tag: migrate to parse-options
+ + write-tree: migrate to parse-options
+
+Parse-options migration; should be in 'master' soonish.
+
+* mk/grep-max-depth (Wed Jul 22 19:52:15 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + grep: Add --max-depth option.
+
+* cc/replace (Wed May 27 07:14:09 2009 +0200) 14 commits
+ + t6050: check pushing something based on a replaced commit
+ + Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
+ + Add git-replace to .gitignore
+ + builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
+ + parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
+ + builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
+ + Add new "git replace" command
+ + environment: add global variable to disable replacement
+ + mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ + replace_object: add a test case
+ + object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ + sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
+ + replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
+ "refs/replace/"
+ + refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
+
+Does not seem to hurt normal operation without "replace". The basic idea
+should be easier and safer to use than the graft mechanism. I haven't
+tried the replacement myself, though.
+
+* ns/init-mkdir (Sat Jul 25 06:59:28 2009 +0900) 1 commit
+ + git init: optionally allow a directory argument
+
+Straightforward usability change. Should be in 'master' soonish.

+ + show: suppress extra newline when showing annotated tag
+
+* jc/apply-epoch-patch (Fri Jul 10 18:38:08 2009 -0700) 1 commit
