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. + +It has been relatively quiet for the past few weeks.

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().
