+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2010, #02; Mon, 6)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
still holding onto them.
-As I didn't want to worry about the early parts of ab/i18n topic, which
-was accidentally merged to 'next' due to my lazyness (another topic,
-ab/test, seemed to be ready for the upcoming release, but a patch to that
-topic had interaction with ab/i18n, which made ab/test unmergeable to
-'master' without dragging 'ab/i18n'), I reverted ab/i18n topic from 'next'
-and merged a rebuilt ab/test topic to 'next'. The i18n topic is merged
-to 'pu'.
-
-I am hoping to tag -rc0 for the 1.7.3 release this weekend.
+There are a few leftover bits in 'next' that need to be merged to 'master'
+before we declare a real -rc cycle, so tonight's pushout is -rc0.
