Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
11
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
12
'+' are in 'next'.
13
14
+Many fixes on the 'master' has been merged down to 'maint' and the
15
+tip of the latter is at v2.1.2 now. Among the topics that have been
16
+cooking in 'next', easier ones have all graduated to 'master'.
17
+
18
+During the remainder of this cycle, I would like to see these topics
19
+to be in 'master' by the end of the 8th week in late October:
20
+
21
+ - ref transaction updates by Ronnie and Jonathan
22
+ - lockfile updates by Michael
23
+ - replacement for contrib/workdir by Duy
24
+
25
+All of them are of rather nontrivial size, and would need to be in
26
+'next' for at least a few weeks, which would mean they must be in a
27
+good enough shape to go incremental by mid October. I suspect that
28
+we might be cutting it a bit too close for some of them but we'll
29
+see.
30
+
31
+ Side note: I am not saying that I will ignore other topics; I am
32
+ just saying that I care about these three topics because their
33
+ changes have large impact on the current codebase, and they have
34
+ big positive impact on the future when done right. We want to
35
+ see atomic updates to multiple refs. We want to see our locks
36
+ behave sensibly. We want to see safer way to work with multiple
37
+ working trees checked out of a single repository.
38
+
39
+ Other topics in flight are of smaller impact that I would not
40
+ worry too much about and tend to require less brainpower to
41
+ judge if the design is good, and I'd be happy to see them go
42
+ through the usual 'pu' to 'next' to 'master' with their own
43
+ pace, either by the end of this cycle, extending into the next
44
+ cycle---in that sense I do not care too much about them to
45
+ single any out.
