+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2013, #04; Wed, 13)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
-The first release candidate 1.8.5-rc1 has been tagged.
-
-As promised/requested, the final steps for 2.0 are in 'next'; they,
-together with a handful topics that have been merged to 'next'
-fairly recently, will _not_ be part of the upcoming 1.8.5 release,
-but will be carried over in 'next' to the next cycle.
-
-There is a proposed rewording of advice message from "git push"
-patch, which is tentatively queued near the tip of 'pu' for now; it
-would be nice to get a few more sets of eyeballs. I am not sure if
-we should merge it before the 1.8.5 final, yet (we have i18n to
-worry about, among other things).
+The second release candidate has been tagged. Hopefully we can have
+an uneventful 1.8.5 final next week.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at
