17
+* gb/submodule-env (2010-02-23) 2 commits
18
+ - submodules: ensure clean environment when operating in a submodule
19
+ - shell setup: clear_local_git_env() function
20
+
21
+This is a round before the round with hardcoded list on the C side. I
22
+think the idea of the new one is basically sound, but I do not think it
23
+should create a new source file nor call it cache.c which obviously this
24
+thing is not (environment.c might be a better home for it).
25
+
26
+* jl/maint-submodule-clear-env (2010-02-23) 1 commit
27
+ - is_submodule_modified(): clear environment properly
28
+
29
+I'd prefer to rebuild this on top of rerolled gb/submodule-env before
30
+moving it forward.
31
+
32
+* il/loosen-remote-helper-names (2010-02-23) 1 commit
33
+ - Allow '+', '-' and '.' in remote helper names
34
+
35
+Judging from the discussion, the conclusion seemed to be that Dscho was
36
+needlessly worried about using '+' in pathnames on DOS, and the patch is
37
+Ok. There also was a discussion on how to sanely deal with the need to
38
+have duplicated binaries with the current set-up, only to handle
39
+essentially the same svn+ssh:// and ssh+svn:// protocols; I however think
40
+that is pretty much orthogonal to the issue of what letters can be used in
41
+names.
42
+
43
+* jk/maint-add--interactive-delete (2010-02-22) 1 commit
44
+ - add-interactive: fix bogus diff header line ordering
45
+
46
+Looked Ok for 'next'.
47
+
48
+* js/runtime-prefix-trace-not-warn (2010-02-23) 1 commit
49
+ - Print RUNTIME_PREFIX warning only when GIT_TRACE is set
50
+
51
+Looked Ok for 'next'.
52
+
53
+* lt/deepen-builtin-source (2010-02-22) 1 commit
54
+ - Move 'builtin-*' into a 'builtin/' subdirectory
55
+
56
+This is a painful one to keep out of 'master' for a long time, as any
57
+topic with new builtin commands will need evil merges to adjust to it.
58
+
59
+* tc/http-cleanup (2010-02-21) 7 commits
60
+ - remote-curl: init walker only when needed
61
+ - remote-curl: use http_fetch_ref() instead of walker wrapper
62
+ - http: init and cleanup separately from http-walker
63
+ - http-walker: cleanup more thoroughly
64
+ - http-push: remove useless condition
65
+ - t554[01]-http-push: refactor, add non-ff tests
66
+ - t5541-http-push: check that ref is unchanged for non-ff test
67
+
68
+Didn't look; there was some discussion that may result in a reroll.
69
+
70
+* tr/notes-display (2010-02-23) 11 commits
71
+ - notes: add shorthand --ref to override GIT_NOTES_REF
72
+ - commit --amend: copy notes to the new commit
73
+ - rebase: support automatic notes copying
74
+ - notes: implement helpers needed for note copying during rewrite

+ - notes: implement 'git notes copy --stdin'
76
+ - rebase -i: invoke post-rewrite hook
77
+ - rebase: invoke post-rewrite hook
78
+ - commit --amend: invoke post-rewrite hook
79
+ - Documentation: document post-rewrite hook
80
+ - Support showing notes from more than one notes tree
81
+ - test-lib: unset GIT_NOTES_REF to stop it from influencing tests
82
+ (this branch uses jh/notes.)
83
+
84
+Didn't look too carefully except for the second one.
85
+
86
+* ts/svn-mergeinfo (2010-02-22) 3 commits
87
+ - git-svn: Fix discarding of extra parents from svn:mergeinfo
88
+ - t9151: Add two new svn:mergeinfo test cases
89
+ - t9151: Fix a few commits in the SVN dump
90
+
91
+I won't pick up git-svn patches myself without Acks from Eric and/or Sam;
92
+there are here only so that they won't be forgotten.
93
+
94
+* cw/test-lib-relicense (2010-02-22) 1 commit
95
+ . test-lib.sh: Add explicit license detail, with change from GPLv2 to GPLv2+.
96
+
97
+I think a reasonable way forward would be to collect Acks from everybody
98
+who appears on "git blame" or "git shortlog" output. How do people feel
99
+about relicensing the whole (except for the obviously borrowed bits, such
100
+as xdiff/) under GPLv2 _or later_? I am not a big fan of GPLv3 and do not
101
+see a compelling reason to switch to v3 for the sake of v3 license per-se,
102
+but helping others that want to use our code might tip the balance.
