+What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2008, issue #01; Sat, 21)
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+It already is beginning to become clear what 1.6.0 will look like. What's
+already in 'next' all are well intentioned (I do not guarantee they are
+already bug-free --- that is what cooking them in 'next' is for) and are
+good set of feature enhancements. But bigger changes will be:
+
+ * MinGW will be in.
+
+ * /usr/bin/git-cat-file is no more. The bulk of the git commands will
+ move to /usr/libexec/git-core/ or somesuch.
+
+ * git-merge will be rewritten in C.
+
+Currently tip of 'pu' is broken and does not pass tests, as j6t/mingw has
+interaction with dr/ceiling and jc/merge-theirs has interaction with
+mv/merge-in-c.

+* jc/merge-theirs (Fri Jun 20 00:17:59 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - git-merge-recursive-{ours,theirs}
+ - git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
+
+Punting a merge by discarding your own work in conflicting parts but still
+salvaging the parts that are cleanly automerged. It is likely that this
+will result in nonsense mishmash, but somehow often people want this, so
+here they are. The interface to the backends may need to change, though.

+* jc/reflog-expire (Sun Jun 15 23:48:46 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - Per-ref reflog expiry configuration
+
+Perhaps a good foundation for optionally unexpirable stash. As 1.6.0 will
+be a good time to make backward incompatible changes, we might make expiry
+period of stash 'never' in new repositories. Needs a concensus.

+ + Git.pm: add test suite

+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Graduated to "master"]
+
+Nothing today but expect many small ones to come out of 'next' this
+weekend.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold]
+
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 7 commits
+ - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
+ format
+ - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
+ + git-blame --reverse
+ + builtin-blame.c: allow more than 16 parents
+ + builtin-blame.c: move prepare_final() into a separate function.
+ + rev-list --children
+ + revision traversal: --children option
+
+The blame that finds where each line in the original lines moved to. This
+may help a GSoC project that wants to gather statistical overview of the
+history. The final presentation may need tweaking (see the log message of
+the commit ""git-blame --reverse" on the series).
+
+The tip two commits are for peeling to see what's behind the blamed
+commit, which we should be able to separate out into an independent topic
+from the rest.
+
+* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
+
+Kicked back to 'pu' for now.
+
+* js/rebase-i-sequencer (Sun Apr 27 02:55:50 2008 -0400) 17 commits
+ - Use perl instead of tac
+ - Fix t3404 assumption that `wc -l` does not use whitespace.
+ - rebase -i: Use : in expr command instead of match.
+ - rebase -i: update the implementation of 'mark' command
+ - Add option --preserve-tags
+ - Teach rebase interactive the tag command
+ - Add option --first-parent
+ - Do rebase with preserve merges with advanced TODO list
+ - Select all lines with fake-editor
+ - Unify the length of $SHORT* and the commits in the TODO list
+ - Teach rebase interactive the merge command
+ - Move redo merge code in a function
+ - Teach rebase interactive the reset command
+ - Teach rebase interactive the mark command
+ - Move cleanup code into it's own function
+ - Don't append default merge message to -m message
+ - fake-editor: output TODO list if unchanged
+
+It is very likely that this whole thing will be reverted from 'next' and
+be replaced with the new sequenser series during 1.6.0 cycle.
+
+* sj/merge (Sat May 3 16:55:47 2008 -0700) 6 commits
+ - Introduce fast forward option only
+ - Head reduction before selecting merge strategy

+
+This will interfere with Miklos's rewrite of merge to C.
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - 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.
+
+* jc/cherry-pick (Wed Feb 20 23:17:06 2008 -0800) 3 commits
+ - WIP: rethink replay merge
+ - Start using replay-tree merge in cherry-pick
+ - revert/cherry-pick: start refactoring call to merge_recursive
+
+This is meant to improve cherry-pick's behaviour when renames are
+involved, by not using merge-recursive (whose d/f conflict resolution is
+quite broken), but unfortunately has stalled for some time now.
+
+* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
+ - git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
+ - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
+ - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
+ lines
+ - stripspace: use parse_options()
+ - Add "git am -s" test
+ - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer
+
+Just my toy at this moment.
