+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10
+only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
11
+marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
12
+holding onto them.
13
+
14
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
15
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
98
+
99
+* jh/notes (Sat May 16 13:44:17 2009 +0200) 5 commits
100
+ - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
101
+ - Add an expensive test for git-notes
102
+ - Speed up git notes lookup
103
+ - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
104
+ - Introduce commit notes
105
+
106
+Dscho asked about the performance implications of this; I do not think I
107
+saw any progress on that yet...
108
+
109
+* lt/read-directory (Fri May 15 12:01:29 2009 -0700) 3 commits
110
+ - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8
111
+ - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set
112
+ conversion
113
+ - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
114
+
115
+Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I
116
+think. For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without
117
+bounds check.
118
+
119
+* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits
120
+ - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
121
+ - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
122
+
123
+Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
124
+solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
125
+may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.
126
+
127
+* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
128
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
129
+
130
+A few minor point remains in this initial one.
131
+
132
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
133
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
134
+
135
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
136
+suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
137
+out of 'next'
138
+
139
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
140
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
141
+
142
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
143
+
144
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
145
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
146
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
147
+data in the canonical repository representation.
148
+
149
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
150
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
151
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
152
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
153
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
154
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
155
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
156
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
157
+in binary mode as well.
158
+
159
+* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
160
+ - Add option for using a foreign VCS
161
+ - Document details of transport function APIs
162
+ - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
163
+
164
+* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
165
+ - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
166
+ - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
167
+ branches
168
+ - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
169
+ - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
170
+ - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
171
+ - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
172
+ - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
173
+ - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests

180

181
+This changes the output from "diff-tree -r -t"; it brings more consistency
182
+to it, but it is a change and could break scripts.

218
+ - Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()
219
+ - die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case
220

+ - http.c: prompt for SSL client certificate password
231

232
+I've rewritten these two to (1) move the #ifdef out of the main codepath,
233
+and (2) use configuration/environment to make the misfeature of always
234
+asking for a passphrase even a key/cert is unencrypted optional. I tried
235
+to be careful but extra sets of eyeballs would be nice to check the result.
