+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 integration branches, but I am
12
+still holding onto them.

88
+
89
+Gives the --short output format to post 1.7.0 "git commit --dry-run" that
90
+is similar to that of post 1.7.0 "git status".

92
+* jc/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 4 commits
93

94
+ + status: typo fix in usage
95

99

152
+ - git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
153
+ - git-add/rm doc: Consistently back-quote
154

175

176
+
177
+Initial round of "fixup" action that is similar to "squash" action in
178
+"rebase -i" that excludes the commit log message from follow-up commits
179
+when composing the log message for the updated one. Expected is a further
180
+improvement to skip opening the editor if a pick is followed only by
181
+"fixup" and no "squash".

221
+ - Teach git-pull to pass -X<option> to git-merge
222
+ - git merge -X<option>
223
+ - git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
224
+
225
+"git pull" patch needs sq-then-eval fix to protect it from $IFS
226

289
+ . grep: --full-tree
290
+
291
+The interaction with this option and pathspecs need to be worked out
292

293

300
+ . reset: use "unpack_trees()" directly instead of "git read-tree"
301
+ . reset: add a few tests for "git reset --merge"
302
+
303
+The documentation is much clearer than the previous round in describing
304

305
