+What's cooking in git.git (May 2009, #01; Sat, 09)

+--------------------------------------------------

+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.

72
+
73
+* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
74
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
75
+
76
+A few minor point remains in this initial one. I hate to do these minor
77
+fix-ups myself, but I may end up doing so...
78
+
79
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
80
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
81
+
82
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
83
+suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
84
+out of 'next'
85
+
86
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
87
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
88
+
89
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
90
+
91
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
92
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
93
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
94
+data in the canonical repository representation.
95
+
96
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
97
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
98
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
99
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
100
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
101
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
102
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
103
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
104
+in binary mode as well.
105
+
106
+* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
107
+ - Add option for using a foreign VCS

+ - Document details of transport function APIs

+ - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
