6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2010, #01; Mon, 04)
7 +--------------------------------------------------
8 +
9 +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.
13 +
14 +The tip of 'next' has been rebuilt on top of the current 'master'.

182 +Initial round of "fixup" action that is similar to "squash" action in
183 +"rebase -i" that excludes the commit log message from follow-up commits

200 + - Notes API: get_commit_notes() -> format_note() + remove the commit restriction
201 + - Minor style fixes to notes.c

228 + - Teach git-pull to pass -X<option> to git-merge
229 + - git merge -X<option>
230 + - git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
231 +
232 +"git pull" patch needs sq-then-eval fix to protect it from $IFS
233 +but otherwise seemed good.
234 +
