+What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2009, #01; Tue, 03)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
-The master branch is slightly past 1.6.2-rc1.
+The master branch is slightly past 1.6.2-rc2. It's been a week and I
+think I can declare the final on this Wednesday, *if* I am not too mired
+by the day job, but I do not know what would happen yet.
-As an experiment, 'next' and 'pu' stay open during this release freeze;
-new topics are accepted as time permits, but people are much more strongly
-encouraged to find issues on what is already on 'master', and patches to
-fix them always takes precedence over what is still on 'next' and will
-never graduate until 1.6.2 final.
+As an experiment, 'next' and 'pu' stayed open during this release freeze;
+new topics have been accepted. I have to say that the experiment was a
+moderate success, and many topics in 'next' seem to be of fairly high
+quality already, which would mean that we will have a shorter cycle before
+1.6.3.
