+
+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #03; Fri, 19)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
+in 'next'.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.  The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+By the way, I'll be on vacation from Sep 24 til Oct 08, but e-mail based
+proposal/review/discussion/improvement cycle and the distributed nature of
+git mean that it shouldn't keep the participants from further working on
+the system.  Hopefully when I come back I'll see a much improved git ;-).
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* mg/maint-remote-fix (Thu Sep 18 18:11:02 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - make "git remote" report multiple URLs
+
+Still with a minor nit but I think this is an improvement.
+
+* pb/submodule (Fri Sep 12 23:09:19 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - t7400: Add short "git submodule add" testsuite
+
+Waiting for a reroll.
+
+* tr/workflow-doc (Sat Sep 13 18:11:01 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ + Documentation: Refer to git-rebase(1) to warn against rewriting
+ + Documentation: new upstream rebase recovery section in git-rebase
+
+I think the last one on "recommended practice" needs discussion.  I do not
+think it describes _the_ recommended workflow, although I think (1) what
+is recommended in the draft does make sense within its own scope, and (2)
+it may be impossible to come up with _the_ recommended workflow anyway.
+
+* bc/maint-diff-hunk-header-fix (Thu Sep 18 17:44:33 2008 -0500) 3 commits
+ + diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header
+   selection
+ + diff.c: associate a flag with each pattern and use it for
+   compiling regex
+ + diff.c: return pattern entry pointer rather than just the hunk
+   header pattern
+
+* bc/master-diff-hunk-header-fix (Thu Sep 18 20:32:50 2008 -0700) 4 commits
+ + Merge branch 'bc/maint-diff-hunk-header-fix' into bc/master-diff-
+   hunk-header-fix
+ + diff.*.xfuncname which uses "extended" regex's for hunk header
+   selection
+ + diff.c: associate a flag with each pattern and use it for
+   compiling regex
+ + diff.c: return pattern entry pointer rather than just the hunk
+   header pattern
+
+I've commented on these two branches in a separate message.
+

+ + log: add load_ref_decorations()

+ + t6013: replace use of 'tac' with equivalent Perl

+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)]
+
+* bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits
+ - Use xdiff caching to improve git blame performance
+ - Allow xdiff machinery to cache hash results for a file
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
+ - Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame
+ - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
+
+Réne had good comments on how the callback should be structured.
+
+* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
+
+I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops with
+conflicts.

+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold]
+
+* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits

+ - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines

+   lines
+ - stripspace: use parse_options()
+ - Add "git am -s" test
+ - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer
+
+The one at second from the tip needs reworking.
+
+* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension

+ + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
+   variables
+
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet.  Perhaps
+in 1.7.0, but with the loud whining about moving git-foo out of $PATH we
+have been hearing, it might not be a bad idea to drop this.
+

+ - 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.
