+
+* sh/rebase-i-p (Wed Oct 15 02:44:40 2008 -0500) 8 commits
+ - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent
+ - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching
+   UPSTREAM
+ - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo
+ - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges
+ - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing
+ - rebase-i-p: use HEAD for updating the ref instead of mapping
+   OLDHEAD
+ - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents
+ + rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
+
+Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's
+rewrite of `rebase -i` would behave.

+ + diff: add filter for converting binary to text
+ + diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary
+ + diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code
+ + t4012: use test_cmp instead of cmp

+
+* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
+
+This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
+Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
+continue.
+
+* 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
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - 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.
