+What's cooking in git.git (May 2009, #02; Sun, 17)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
+only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
+marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
+holding onto them.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* jc/mktree (Thu May 14 15:49:10 2009 -0700) 9 commits
+ - mktree: validate entry type in input
+ - mktree --batch: build more than one tree object
+ - mktree --missing: updated usage message and man page
+ - mktree --missing: allow missing objects
+ - t1010: add mktree test
+ - mktree: do not barf on a submodule commit
+ - builtin-mktree.c: use a helper function to handle one line of
+ input

+* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
+ - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
+
+Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
+solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
+may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.

+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Will merge to "master" soon]
+
+* mw/send-email (Mon Apr 13 13:23:52 2009 -0500) 6 commits
+ + send-email: Remove superfluous `my $editor = ...'
+ + send-email: 'References:' should only reference what is sent

+ + Docs: send-email: --smtp-server-port can take symbolic ports

+ + t3702: fix reliance on SHELL_PATH being '/bin/sh'
+ + git-add: introduce --edit (to edit the diff vs. the index)
+
+* jk/maint-add-empty (Tue Apr 28 23:21:01 2009 -0400) 1 commit
+ + add: don't complain when adding empty project root
+
+When you say "git add ." in an empty directory, you get "No path matches
+''", instead of "No path matches '.'", and this "fixes" it by hiding the
+error and making the command silently succeed. Strictly speaking it
+introduces inconsistency, but I think an empty directory is so
+uninteresting special case that not signalling it as an error is Ok.
+
+* ar/unlink-err (Wed Apr 29 23:24:52 2009 +0200) 3 commits
+ + print unlink(2) errno in copy_or_link_directory
+ + replace direct calls to unlink(2) with unlink_or_warn
+ + Introduce an unlink(2) wrapper which gives warning if unlink
+ failed
+
+* ar/merge-one-file-diag (Wed Apr 29 23:40:50 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Clarify kind of conflict in merge-one-file helper
+
+* np/push-delta (Fri May 1 16:56:47 2009 -0400) 1 commit
+ + allow OFS_DELTA objects during a push

+ + Add --reference option to git submodule.
+
+* fl/git-pm (Thu May 7 15:41:28 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ + Git.pm: Always set Repository to absolute path if autodetecting
+ + Git.pm: Set GIT_WORK_TREE if we set GIT_DIR
+
+* rs/grep-parseopt (Thu May 7 21:46:48 2009 +0200) 5 commits
+ + grep: use parseopt
+ + grep: remove global variable builtin_grep
+ + parseopt: add PARSE_OPT_NODASH
+ + parseopt: add OPT_NUMBER_CALLBACK
+ + parseopt: add OPT_NEGBIT
+
+* jk/no-no-no-empty-directory (Fri May 8 01:01:17 2009 -0400) 2 commits
+ + parseopt: add OPT_NEGBIT
+ + parseopt: add OPT_NEGBIT
+
+I somehow botched the commit log message of the top one; it is about
+fixing "ls-files --no-empty-directory".
+
+* jk/maint-1.6.0-trace-argv (Fri May 8 05:06:15 2009 -0400) 1 commit
+ + fix GIT_TRACE segfault with shell-quoted aliases

+
+* rr/forbid-bs-in-ref (Fri May 8 07:32:37 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Disallow '\' in ref names
+
+This retroactively forbids use of what people could have been using
+happily, which, strictly speaking, is a no-no, but makes sense in the
+longer term.
+
+* do/maint-merge-recursive-fix (Sat May 9 14:49:59 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ + merge-recursive: never leave index unmerged while recursing
+
+* jm/format-patch-no-auto-n-when-k-is-given (Sat May 9 10:12:01 2009 +0200) 1 commit
+ + format-patch let -k override a config-specified format.numbered
+
+* lt/maint-diff-reduce-lstat (Sat May 9 15:11:17 2009 -0700) 2 commits
+ + Teach 'git checkout' to preload the index contents
+ + Avoid unnecessary 'lstat()' calls in 'get_stat_data()'
+
+* cc/bisect (Sat May 9 17:55:47 2009 +0200) 20 commits
+ + bisect: make "git bisect" use new "--next-all" bisect-helper
+ function
+ + bisect: add "check_good_are_ancestors_of_bad" function
+ + bisect: implement the "check_merge_bases" function
+ + bisect: automatically sort sha1_array if needed when looking it up

+ "setup_revisions"
+ + bisect: store good revisions in a "sha1_array"
+ + bisect: implement "rev_argv_push" to fill an argv with revs
+ + bisect: use "sha1_array" to store skipped revisions
+ + am: simplify "sq" function by using "git rev-parse --sq-quote"
+ + bisect: use "git rev-parse --sq-quote" instead of a custom "sq"
+ function
+ + rev-parse: add --sq-quote to shell quote arguments
+ + rev-list: remove stringed output flag from "show_bisect_vars"
+ + bisect--helper: remove "--next-vars" option as it is now useless
+ + bisect: use "git bisect--helper --next-exit" in "git-bisect.sh"
+ + bisect--helper: add "--next-exit" to output bisect results
+ + bisect: move common bisect functionality to "bisect_common"
+ + rev-list: refactor printing bisect vars
+ + rev-list: make "estimate_bisect_steps" non static
+
+Rewriting major part of "git-bisect" shell script continues. The patches
+seem to be reasonably clean.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
+
+* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
+
+A few minor point remains in this initial one. I hate to do these minor
+fix-ups myself, but I may end up doing so...
+
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
+
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
+suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
+out of 'next'
+
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
+
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
+
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
+data in the canonical repository representation.
+
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
+in binary mode as well.
+
+* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
+ - Add option for using a foreign VCS
+ - Document details of transport function APIs
+ - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
+
+* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
+ - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
+ - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
+ branches
+ - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
+ - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
+ - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
+ - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
+ - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
+ - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Actively cooking]
+
+* da/mergetool-lib (Sat May 2 01:57:21 2009 -0700) 1 commit
+ - mergetool--lib: specialize diff options for emerge and ecmerge
+
+Can somebody tell me what the current status of this is? I thought there
+was some objection, but I lost track...
+
+* rc/http-push (Sat May 16 11:51:52 2009 +0800) 12 commits
+ - http*: add fetch_http_pack_index
+ - http: create function end_url_with_slash
+ - http*: move common variables and macros to http.[ch]
+ - http-push: do not SEGV after fetching a bad pack idx file
+ - http*: copy string returned by sha1_to_hex
+ - http-walker: verify remote packs
+ - http-push, http-walker: style fixes
+ - t5550-http-fetch: test fetching of packed objects
+ - http-push: fix missing "#ifdef USE_CURL_MULTI" around
+ "is_running_queue"
+ - http-push: send out fetch requests on queue
+ - t5540-http-push: test fetching of packed objects
+ - t5540-http-push: test fetching of loose objects
+
+There was an 11-patch updates but in the middle there were some
+compilation breakage issues; only early part of that series is queued.
+
+* cc/replace (Tue Apr 14 00:36:59 2009 +0200) 13 commits
+ - Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
+ - Add git-replace to .gitignore
+ - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
+ - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
+ - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
+ - Add new "git replace" command
+ - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
+ - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ - replace_object: add a test case
+ - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
+ - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
+ - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
+ "refs/replace/"
+ - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
+
+I suspect an attempt to replace an object that is directly listed on the
+command line would not work very well with this series.

+[On Hold]
+
+* jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0 (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 1 commit

+* jc/refuse-push-to-current-1.7.0 (Wed Feb 11 02:28:03 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - Refuse updating the current branch in a non-bare repository via

+
+These are for 1.7.0, but the messages when they trigger together may need
+to be rethought.
