30 -Modifies "git describe --tags" to allow matching against lightweight
31 -tags even when an annotated tag is found in the history. Its not
32 -in next because I haven't formally written a commit message and
33 -posted the patch for discussion on the list.
29 +Does what it says it does. This may be ready for master soon,
30 +its a pretty trivial change.
31
35 -This is a fairly significant change in behavior. Its most certainly
36 -1.6.1 material, but many argue the change is the _correct_ behavior
37 -and the current behavior in 1.6.0 is buggy.

35 +A major cleanup on the way gitweb parses its input arguments.
36 +Future gitweb patches to add more arguments into the PATH_INFO
37 +depend upon this initial cleanup work.
38
45 -A general cleanup on how diff drivers are implemented. Its still
46 -missing documentation updates and tests but doesn't break anything
47 -current as far as I can tell. It needs more review before it can

42 +I think another version may be coming to reuse the core.filemode
43 +parsing so this patch isn't in next yet.

56 +Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's
