Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
in 'next'.
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics

-already bug-free --- that is what cooking them in 'next' is for) and are
-good set of feature enhancements. Bigger changes will be:
+I think most of the important stuff is already in 'next'. Let's start
+talking about closing the merge window for 1.6.0.
- * Port for MinGW.
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
- * With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs will be
- installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
- some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
- reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
- line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
- 1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
- output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH will still be supported in
- 1.6.0, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
- scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
- "git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
+* sb/dashless (Sun Jul 13 15:36:15 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ - Make usage strings dash-less
+ - t/: Use "test_must_fail git" instead of "! git"
+ - t/test-lib.sh: exit with small negagive int is ok with
+ test_must_fail
+
+* mv/dashless (Fri Jul 11 02:12:06 2008 +0200) 4 commits
+ - make remove-dashes: apply to scripts and programs as well, not
+ just to builtins
+ - git-bisect: use dash-less form on git bisect log
+ - t1007-hash-object.sh: use quotes for the test description
+ - t0001-init.sh: change confusing directory name
+
+* sp/maint-bash-completion-optim (Mon Jul 14 00:22:03 2008 +0000) 1 commit
+ + bash completion: Append space after file names have been completed
+
+Early parts are already merged to 'master' and need to be merged down to
+maint as well, as this is about a "performance bug" that has been with us
+almost forever.
+
+* ag/rewrite_one (Sat Jul 12 22:00:57 2008 +0400) 1 commit
+ + Fix quadratic performance in rewrite_one.
+
+* sp/win (Fri Jul 11 18:52:42 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ + We need to check for msys as well as Windows in add--interactive.
+ + Convert CR/LF to LF in tag signatures
+ + Fixed text file auto-detection: treat EOF character 032 at the end
+ of file as printable

+ + rerere: Separate libgit and builtin functions
+ + builtin-rerere: more carefully find conflict markers
- * default pack and idx versions will be updated as scheduled for some
- time ago.
+* ls/mailinfo (Sun Jul 13 20:30:12 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ - git-mailinfo: use strbuf's instead of fixed buffers
+ - Add some useful functions for strbuf manipulation.
+ - Make some strbuf_*() struct strbuf arguments const.
- * GIT_CONFIG, which was only documented as affecting "git config", but
- actually affected all git commands, now only affects "git config".
- GIT_LOCAL_CONFIG, also only documented as affecting "git config" and
- not different from GIT_CONFIG in a useful way, is removed.
+* gi/cherry-cache (Sat Jul 12 20:14:51 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - cherry: cache patch-ids to avoid repeating work

- + Teach git-merge -X<option> again.

+ .mailmap
-I've described what this is in a separate message.

+ - Allow add_path() to add non-existent directories to the path
+ - Allow the built-in exec path to be relative to the command
+ invocation path
+ - Fix relative built-in paths to be relative to the command
+ invocation
+ + help (Windows): Display HTML in default browser using Windows'
+ shell API
+ + help.c: Add support for htmldir relative to git_exec_path()
+ + Move code interpreting path relative to exec-dir to new function
+ system_path()
+
+The earlier parts are obvious; Dscho seemed to have some comments on the
+later ones that are in 'pu'.
+
+* lw/gitweb (Fri Jul 11 03:11:48 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ - gitweb: use new Git::Repo API, and add optional caching
+ - Add new Git::Repo API
+ - gitweb: add test suite with Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI
+
+This does not pass t9710, at least for me X-<.

+Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
+If such a patch materializes soon, that would be good, but otherwise I'll
+merge this as-is to 'next'. Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on
+top of this series.

-As 1.6.0 will be a good time to make backward incompatible changes, the
-tip commit makes the default expiry period of stash 'never', unless you
-configure them to expire explicitly using gc.refs/stash.* variables.
-Needs consensus, but I am guessing that enough people would want stash
-that does not expire.

-The tip two commits are for peeling to see what's behind the blamed
