+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2009, #06; Thu, 31)

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

+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' will soon be rebuilt on top of the current 'master'.

147
+"rebase -i" that excludes the commit log message from follow-up commits

149
+improvement to skip opening the editor if a pick is followed only by

189
+ - Extend merge-subtree tests to test -Xsubtree=dir.
190
+ - Make "subtree" part more orthogonal to the rest of merge-recursive.
191
+ - Teach git-pull to pass -X<option> to git-merge
192
+ - git merge -X<option>
193
+ - git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
194

250

251
+ . Improve transport helper exec failure reporting
252
+ . Report exec errors from run-command
253

254
+Freezes "git log" or anything that uses pager; J6t made quite a many good
255

271

272

273
+This has some stupid bugs and reverted from 'next' until I can fix it, but
274

276
+* jc/grep-full-tree (2009-11-24) 1 commit
277
+ . grep: --full-tree
278
+
279
+The interaction with this option and pathspecs need to be worked out
280
+better. I _think_ "grep --full-tree -e pattern -- '*.h'" should find from
281
+all the header files in the tree, for example.
