The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

+

+ + git-am: re-fix the diag message printing
+ + git-am: Make it easier to see which patch failed
+
+* cb/add-pathspec (Wed Jan 14 15:54:35 2009 +0100) 2 commits
+ - remove pathspec_match, use match_pathspec instead
+ - clean up pathspec matching
+
+* sg/maint-gitdir-in-subdir (Fri Jan 16 16:37:33 2009 +0100) 1 commit
+ + Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir
+
+This has my "don't do the fullpath if you are directly inside .git"
+squashed in, so it should be much safer.
+
+* am/maint-push-doc (Sun Jan 18 15:36:58 2009 +0100) 4 commits
+ + Documentation: avoid using undefined parameters
+ + Documentation: mention branches rather than heads
+ + Documentation: remove a redundant elaboration
+ + Documentation: git push repository can also be a remote
+
+* sp/runtime-prefix (Sun Jan 18 13:00:15 2009 +0100) 5 commits
+ - Windows: Revert to default paths and convert them by
+ RUNTIME_PREFIX
+ - Modify setup_path() to only add git_exec_path() to PATH
+ - Add calls to git_extract_argv0_path() in programs that call
+ git_config_*
+ - git_extract_argv0_path(): Move check for valid argv0 from caller
+ to callee
+ - Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in
+ preparation for RUNTIME_PREFIX)
-This is "third-time-lucky, perhaps?" resurrection. I do not think I'd be
-using this very often, but it originated from a real user request.
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
-* jk/signal-cleanup (Sun Jan 11 06:36:49 2009 -0500) 3 commits
- - pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death
- - refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
- - chain kill signals for cleanup functions
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
+ format
+ + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
+
+This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
+the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
+rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
+may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
+need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
-* kb/lstat-cache (Tue Jan 13 13:29:08 2009 +0100) 5 commits
- - lstat_cache(): introduce clear_lstat_cache() function
- - lstat_cache(): introduce invalidate_lstat_cache() function
- - lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
- - lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path()
+* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
+ - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
+ - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
+ - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
+
+The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
+think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
+the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.

-This is the seventh round; although the author asked me not to bother, I
-couldn't resist. I renamed one helper function while reading the patches
-and made minor adjustments on styles, but it looked reasonable.
+This is the tenth round, now in 'next'.
* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Mon Jan 12 00:45:55 2009 +0100) 3 commits
- builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules

- - Teach format-patch to handle output directory relative to cwd
-
-This was my lunchtime "this may fix it" response to a breakage report. I
-haven't really thought things through but my gut feeling is this might
-break things for minorities who are accustomed to the existing behaviour,
-especially wrt the filenames reported on the standard output.
+Still getting active reviews.
* lt/maint-wrap-zlib (Wed Jan 7 19:54:47 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ Wrap inflate and other zlib routines for better error reporting
Needs the "free our memory upon seeing Z_MEM_ERROR and try again" bits
extracted from Shawn's patch on top of this one.

+ boundaries
- color-words: refactor word splitting and use ALLOC_GROW()
- - Add color_fwrite(), a function coloring each line individually
+ - Add color_fwrite_lines(), a function coloring each line
+ individually
Dscho's series that was done in response to Thomas's original; two agreed
to work together on this codebase.

- . autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
+* ks/maint-mailinfo-folded (Tue Jan 13 01:21:04 2009 +0300) 5 commits
+ - mailinfo: tests for RFC2047 examples
+ - mailinfo: add explicit test for mails like '<a.u.thor@example.com>
+ (A U Thor)'
+ - mailinfo: more smarter removal of rfc822 comments from 'From'
+ + mailinfo: 'From:' header should be unfold as well
+ + mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
-I haven't heard neither positive nor negative comments from minority
-platforms that might be harmed, but this feels like the right thing to do,
-so perhaps the best course of action is to merge this down to 'master' and
-see if anybody screams.

- - mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
-
-The author seems to have more updates, but I couldn't extract them from
-the e-mail.
+I think "more smarter" one is too aggressive for our purpose. Perhaps not
+removing comments at all would be what we want.
