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

+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.

148

149
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
150

151
+A few minor point remains in this initial one. I hate to do these minor

154
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
155
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
156
+
157
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
158
+suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
159
+out of 'next'
160

161

162
+ - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]

164
+Discussion stalled on the submodule selection criteria.

166

167
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
168
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
169
+
170
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
171
+
172
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
173
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
174
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
175
+data in the canonical repository representation.
176
+
177
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
178
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
179
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
180
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
181
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
182
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
183
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
184
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
185
+in binary mode as well.
186
+
187
+* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
188
+ - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
189
+ - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
190
+ - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
191
+
192
+* js/notes (Wed Feb 18 11:17:27 2009 -0800) 14 commits
193
+ - tests: fix "export var=val"
194
+ - notes: refuse to edit notes outside refs/notes/
195
+ - t3301: use test_must_fail instead of !
196
+ - t3301: fix confusing quoting in test for valid notes ref
197

208

210
+ - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
211
+ branches
212
+ - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
213
+ + Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
214
+ + Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
215
+ + Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
216
+ + Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
217
+ + Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
218
+
219
+Two cvsimport test topics were rewound from 'next' and merged into this
220
+one. I'll keep this in 'pu' so that people can polish their cvsps skilz
221
+to resolve issues these tests identify.
