--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/119731/focus=119751
-We are in pre-release feature freeze. 'next' will hold topics meant for
-1.6.6 and 1.7.0.
-
-Tonight's tip of 'master' is 1.6.5-rc3.
+As a post-release ritual, I've rebuilt 'next' on top of 'master'.

I think we should redo this on top of the first two patches from
js/log-rewrap series; %B(x) is just a special case %B(x,x,0), no? If a
magic value 0 (or negative) given to wrap-width does not disable wrapping,

what Linus outlined --- walk the trees, and have the index walker follow
it. It turned out that the index side also needed some hairy look-ahead,
