+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2011, #03; Sun, 13)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
git://git.sourceforge.jp/gitroot/git-core/git.git

-With all the topics and integration branches but not todo, html or man:
+With all the topics and integration branches:

-I will stop pushing the generated documentation branches to the above
-repositories, as they are not sources. The only reason the source
-repository at k.org has hosted these branches was because it was the only
-repository over there that was writable by me; it was an ugly historical
-and administrative workaround and not a demonstration of the best
-practice.
-
-These branches are pushed to their own separate repositories instead:
+The preformatted documentation in HTML and man format are found in:

[Stalled]
- t5800: point out that deleting branches does not work
- t5800: document inability to push new branch with old content
-Perhaps 281eee4 (revision: keep track of the end-user input from the
-command line, 2011-08-25) would help.

+* sr/fix-fast-export-tips (2011-11-05) 3 commits
+ - fast-export: output reset command for commandline revs
+ - fast-export: do not refer to non-existing marks
+ - t9350: point out that refs are not updated correctly
+
+The bottom commit from the stalled sr/transport-helper-fix-rfc topic is
+fixed with this. It may make sense to drop the other topic and include
+that commit in this series.
+
+The command line parser is still too lax and accepts malformed input, but
+this is a step in the right direction and tightening the command line now
+should be doable without a low level surgery that touches codepaths that
+are unrelated to the command line processing like the previous attempt
+used to do.
* jc/lookup-object-hash (2011-08-11) 6 commits
- object hash: replace linear probing with 4-way cuckoo hashing
Will keep in 'pu' as a showcase for a while and then will drop.

+ - grep: detect number of CPUs for thread spawning
+
+Kills I/O parallelism and needs to be improved or discarded.

+* vr/msvc (2011-10-31) 3 commits
+ - MSVC: Remove unneeded header stubs
+ - Compile fix for MSVC: Include <io.h>
+ - Compile fix for MSVC: Do not include sys/resources.h
+
+It seems this needs to be rehashed with msysgit folks.
+
+* na/strtoimax (2011-11-05) 3 commits
+ - Support sizes >=2G in various config options accepting 'g' sizes.
+ - Compatibility: declare strtoimax() under NO_STRTOUMAX

+ (this branch uses jc/pull-signed-tag; is tangled with jc/commit-tree-extra.)
+
+Rebased on top of jc/pull-signed-tag topic, after reverting the old one
+out of 'next'.
+

+
+Further updated to allow "commit --amend" to retain the mergetag
+headers. I think this is ready for the cycle after upcoming 1.7.8.
