6 +What's cooking in git.git (May 2009, #01; Sat, 09)
7 +--------------------------------------------------
8 +
9 +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.

71 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
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
108 + - Document details of transport function APIs
109 + - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
110 +
111 +* js/notes (Tue Apr 14 00:03:36 2009 +0200) 15 commits
112 + - Documentation: fix 'linkgit' macro in "git-notes.txt"
113 + - tests: fix "export var=val"

193 +
194 +Only partially queued, but this is not 1.6.3 material and we are not in a
195 +hurry.
196 +
197 +* js/add-edit (Mon Apr 27 19:51:42 2009 +0200) 2 commits

215 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
216 +
217 +I suspect an attempt to replace an object that is directly listed on the
218 +command line would not work very well with this series.
