+
+What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #01; Mon, 05)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
+in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches,
+but I am still holding onto them.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+Sorry to have been lagging a bit. There are a few patches I am interested
+in but haven't studied yet nor mentioned here. I've been swamped outside
+git lately for the past few days, but hopefully I can get to them shortly.
+

+
+All of the above are good fixes and clean-ups; will be fast-tracked to
+'master' and maintenance branches as appropriate.
+
+* mv/apply-parse-opt (Sun Dec 28 00:03:57 2008 +0100) 1 commit
+ + parse-opt: migrate builtin-apply.
+
+* mh/cherry-default (Thu Jan 1 22:56:29 2009 +0100) 2 commits

+ format:
+
+* tr/rebase-root (Fri Jan 2 23:28:29 2009 +0100) 4 commits
+ - rebase: update documentation for --root
+ - rebase -i: learn to rebase root commit
+ - rebase: learn to rebase root commit
+ - rebase -i: execute hook only after argument checking
+
+I should be able to find time to read this over again and merge to
+'next' sometime this week.
+
+* as/autocorrect-alias (Sun Jan 4 18:16:01 2009 +0100) 1 commit
+ + git.c: make autocorrected aliases work
+
+* as/commit-signoff (Mon Dec 29 12:16:45 2008 +0100) 1 commit
+ - [WIP] Add a commit.signoff configuration option to always use --
+ signoff in commit
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
+
+* wp/add-patch-find (Thu Nov 27 04:08:03 2008 +0000) 3 commits
+ . In add --patch, Handle K,k,J,j slightly more gracefully.
+ . Add / command in add --patch
+ . git-add -i/-p: Change prompt separater from slash to comma
+
+Will discard and wait for a resubmit.
+
+* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ . git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
+
+A reroll of this by Simon Schubert triggered a series to fix a parameter
+propagation bug, and another reroll to add "git am --directory=path/"
+should be much easier now. I am not likely to use the feature myself, so
+it is up to intrested volunteers to carry it forward.
+
+* ds/uintmax-config (Mon Nov 3 09:14:28 2008 -0900) 1 commit
+ - autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
+
+This automatically enables threaded delta search code when autoconf
+detects pthreads are usable. 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.
+
+* 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.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Actively cooking]

+* nd/grep-assume-unchanged (Sat Dec 27 15:21:03 2008 +0700) 2 commits

+ + builtin-shortlog.c: use string_list_append(), and don't strdup
+ unnecessarily
+
+* jc/maint-ls-tree (Wed Dec 31 19:00:50 2008 +0900) 2 commits

+

+An attempt to extend the fetch protocol to make the logic to detect where

+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
+ asked for
+
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
+but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
+this back for now.
