+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #04; Mon, 22)
6
+--------------------------------------------------
7
+
8
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
9
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
10
+in 'next'.
11
+
12
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
13
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
14
+
15
+I'll be on vacation til Oct 08; proposal/review/discussion/improvement
16
+cycle based on e-mails and the distributed nature of git mean that it
17
+shouldn't keep the participants from further improving the system. I've
18
+asked Shawn to look after in-flight patches during the time, so hopefully
19
+when I come back I'll see a much better git ;-).

+[New Topics]
23
+
24
+* nd/narrow (Sun Sep 14 20:07:59 2008 +0700) 9 commits
25
+ - grep: skip files that have not been checked out
26
+ - checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
27
+ - Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside narrow
28
+ checkout
29
+ - Add tests for updating no-checkout entries in index
30
+ - ls-files: add --narrow-checkout option to "will checkout" entries
31
+ - update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
32
+ CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
33
+ - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
34
+ - Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
35
+ - Extend index to save more flags
36
+
37
+This is an early half of the earlier series (I haven't had chance to look
38
+at the updated series yet), and should be replaced with the updated one
39
+posted recently.

52
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
53
+ - Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame
54

58

59

60

61
+I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops with
62
+conflicts.

+My impression from the last round of discusson on the third patch in this
199
