22 +* gb/gitweb-patch (Sat Nov 29 14:41:11 2008 +0100) 2 commits
23 + - [DONTMERGE: wait for signoff] gitweb: links to patch action in
24 + commitdiff and shortlog view

26 +
27 +* lt/reset-merge (Mon Dec 1 09:30:31 2008 -0800) 1 commit
28 + + Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset'
29 +
30 +Unfortunately, I cannot write down a good use case in what circumstances
31 +this is needed, even though I do recall that I occasionally (perhaps once
32 +every two months) needed to do "read-tree -m -u" myself in the past, and
33 +this patch brings that feature close to Porcelain. On the other hand, the
34 +existing "reset --mixed" is very easily explained ("after starting to add
35 +changes to the staging area, you realized that you screwed up, and you
36 +want to redo it from scratch"). Therefore, I cannot justify what the log
37 +message of this change claims myself.
38 +
39 +* jc/rm-i-t-a (Fri Nov 28 19:56:34 2008 -0800) 5 commits
40 + + git add --intent-to-add: do not let an empty blob be committed by
41 + accident
42 + + git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptiness
43 + + builtin-rm.c: explain and clarify the "local change" logic
44 + + Merge branch 'nd/narrow' (early part) into jc/add-i-t-a
45 + + Extend index to save more flags
46 +
47 +As intent-to-add index entry is a new feature for 1.6.1, it probably is a
48 +good idea to merge this to 'master'. Nitpicks and bugfixes are very much
49 +appreciated.
50 +
51 +* wp/add-patch-find (Thu Nov 27 04:08:03 2008 +0000) 3 commits
52 + - In add --patch, Handle K,k,J,j slightly more gracefully.
53 + - Add / command in add --patch
54 + - git-add -i/-p: Change prompt separater from slash to comma
55 +
56 +There are some other useful bits and pieces around this area exchanged on
57 +the list with the author of these patches. I think it would become a
58 +useful series after reassembling their pieces. Waiting for v2.
59 +
60 +* jn/gitweb-utf8 (Mon Dec 1 19:01:42 2008 +0100) 1 commit
61 + - gitweb: Fix handling of non-ASCII characters in inserted HTML
62 + files.
63 +
64 +Possibly a bugfix worthy to have in 1.6.1.
65 +
66 +* jc/clone-symref-2 (Sat Nov 29 23:38:21 2008 -0800) 7 commits
67 + - clone: test the new HEAD detection logic
68 + - Merge commit 'HEAD@{2}' into HEAD
69 + - upload-pack: send the HEAD information
70 + - clone: find the current branch more explicitly
71 + - connect.c::read_extra_info(): find where HEAD points at
72 + - connect.c::read_extra_info(): prepare to receive more than server
73 + capabilities
74 + - get_remote_heads(): refactor code to read "server capabilities"
75 +
76 +This is no way meant for 1.6.1, let alone next, yet.
