+* jl/submodule-add-noname (2009-09-22) 1 commit.
+ - git submodule add: make the <path> parameter optional
+
+Dscho started an interesting discussion regarding the larger workflow in
+which the "submodule add" is used. I think the patch itself makes sense
+but at the same time it probably makes sense to also take the <path> and
+infer the <repository> as Dscho suggested, probably in "git submodule
+add", not in "git add" proper, at least initially.

Ejected from 'next' as fast-import folks still seem to be discussing with
how to proceed.
- Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import
(this branch uses db/vcs-helper-rest.)
-Builds on db/vcs-helper. There is a re-roll planned.
-
-* ne/rev-cache (2009-09-07) 7 commits.
- . support for commit grafts, slight change to general mechanism
- . support for path name caching in rev-cache
- . full integration of rev-cache into git, completed test suite
- . administrative functions for rev-cache, start of integration into git
- . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache
- . basic revision cache system, no integration or features
- . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache
-
-This seems to break at least t6001 when merged to 'pu'.

-The current AsciiDoc may barf on NOME and SINOPSE, as pt_BR language

* jc/pretty-lf (2009-10-04) 1 commit.
- Pretty-format: %[+-]x to tweak inter-item newlines

-line wrapping features in an extensible way.

+ (this branch is used by jc/strbuf-nested-expand.)
-* jg/log-format-body-indent (2009-09-19) 1 commit.
- - git-log --format: Add %B tag with %B(x) option
-
-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,
-we probably should make it so.

-Dscho sounded like he has some corrections after list comments, but I did
-not pick up his interdiff in the middle.
-
-* jl/submodule-add-noname (2009-09-22) 1 commit.
- - git submodule add: make the <path> parameter optional

This is my replacement for Linus's lt/maint-traverse-trees-fix patch. It
is not so much as a counter-proposal; I originally thought it might make
it. It turned out that the index side also needed some hairy look-ahead,
This includes the fix to aggressive mode of three-way merge used by the
-resolve strategy. I think the series is Ok for 'next'.

-
-I just queued this without reading nor thinking about it very much. I
-personally liked my version that had far smaller number of lines changed
-(which means I can be fairly certain that it did not introduce any
-regression), but perhaps the majorly rewritten logic this patch gives us
-may be easier to follow and maintain.
