+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2008, #04; Wed, 12)
6
+--------------------------------------------------
7
+
8
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
9
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
10
+in 'next'.
11
+
12
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
13
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
14
+
15
+I think we should declare -rc0 by the end of this week, with the goal of
16
+including everything that are in 'next' as of tonight, plus the "narrow
17
+checkout" and possibly Pierre's send-email that acts as format-patch
18
+frontend, by the time we hit -rc1, perhaps soon after the end of month.

195
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use,

197
