- git-mv: Keep moved index entries inact

to fix it. Pasky has other plans to build on a more solidified foundation
to enhance the command to work with submodules better on top of this.

-* ns/am-abort (Wed Jul 16 19:39:10 2008 +0900) 1 commit
- + git am --abort
-
-This one is for Ted; builds on top of the recent "am and rebase leaves
-ORIG_HEAD just like reset, merge and pull does" rather nicely.
-
-* jc/rerere-auto-more (Wed Jul 16 20:25:18 2008 -0700) 1 commit
- + rerere.autoupdate: change the message when autoupdate is in effect
-
-This one is for Ingo.
-
-This changes the message rerere issues after reusing previous conflict
-resolution from "Resolved" to "Staged" when autoupdate option is in
-effect.
-
-It is envisioned that in practice, some auto resolutions are trickier and
-iffier than others, and we would want to add a feature to mark individual
-resolutions as "this is ok to autoupdate" or "do not autoupdate the result
-using this resolution even when rerere.autoupdate is in effect" in the
-future. When that happens, these messages will make the distinction
-clearer.

-iffy, but I should pick up the updated one and look at it.

- . Add git-sequencer prototype documentation
- . Add git-sequencer shell prototype
-

-seems to be looking at these patches, which is somewhat depressing but

-* jc/grafts (Wed Jul 2 17:14:12 2008 -0700) 1 commit
- - [BROKEN wrt shallow clones] Ignore graft during object transfer
-
-Cloning or fetching from a repository from grafts did not send objects
-that are hidden by grafts, but the commits in the resulting repository do
-need these to pass fsck. This fixes object transfer to ignore grafts.
-
-Another fix is needed to git-prune so that it ignores grafts but treats
-commits that are mentioned in grafts as reachable.

- - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
- format
- - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
-
-This is for peeling the line from the blamed version to see what's behind
-it, which may or may not help applications like gitweb.

+ . diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly

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.

-As announced in a separate message, the tip of master was tagged as
-1.6.0-rc0; for people who neglected futureproofing themselves so far, it
-would really be a good time to seriously consider doing so.

+to the new codepaths introduced recently; iow, exactly the kind of patches
+we would want to see before and during the -rc period.
