 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
 only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.
 
+I am somewhat frustrated that I so almost no reviews on gitweb
+patches. Does this mean nobody is interested in viewing the projects
+on gitweb? How can we improve this lack of review bandwidth situation?
+
 The main part of this cycle is expected to run thru May, aiming for a
 feature freeze in early June.
 
-We are in the middle of week #3.
+We are about to finish the week #3 of this cycle.

-This covers the entry point for a big file to the system. Other parts that
-need to know about them are the exit point (i.e. write_entry()), packing
-and repacking (as long as bigfilethreshold is sane this should work),
-diffs and status (avoid slurping large binary in core only to do nothing,
-which we already should), and transport (receive-pack/fetch-pack call
-either unpack-objects or index-pack, which still want to hold the full
-object in-core and need to be fixed).

- - convert: make it safer to add conversion attributes
- - convert: give saner names to crlf/eol variables, types and functions
- - convert: rename the "eol" global variable to "core_eol"

+ - write_entry(): use streaming API for writing working tree files
+ - stream: a streaming interface to read from the object store
+ - sha1_object_info_extended(): expose a bit more information from object-info
+ - write_entry(): separate two helper functions out
+ - packed_object_info_detail(): do not return a string

-* nd/sparse-co-fix (2011-05-10) 2 commits
- - sparse checkout: do not eagerly decide the fate for whole directory
- - t1011: fix sparse-checkout initialization and add new file
+The counterpart to jc/bigfile to cover the write-out codepath. This does
+not yet have "read directly from pack or loose object without slurping the
+whole thing in memory" yet, which is still work in progress.
