+What's cooking in git.git (Oct 2011, #07; Wed, 19)
--------------------------------------------------
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 fourth batch of topics have graduated to the master branch. This batch
-ended up to be mostly fixes, as can be seen in the updates in the RelNotes
-file. These topics will be further merged down to the maint branch for the
-1.7.7.1 maintenance release.
+The fifth batch of topics started graduating to the master branch. It is
+probably a good point to stop taking new topics and start switching our
+focus to fixing bugs in the topics already in 'master'.
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
