14 -In 1.7.0, we plan to correct handful of warts in the interfaces everybody
15 -agrees that they were mistakes. The resulting system may not be strictly
16 -backward compatible. Currently planned changes are:
17 -
18 - * refuse push to update the checked out branch in a non-bare repo by
19 - default
20 -
21 - Make "git push" into a repository to update the branch that is checked

35 - * "git send-email" won't make deep threads by default
17 +* bg/maint-add-all-doc (2009-12-07) 4 commits.
18 + - squash! rm documentation--also mention add-u where we mention commit-a
19 + - git-rm doc: Describe how to sync index & work tree
20 + - git-add/rm doc: Consistently back-quote
21 + - Documentation: 'git add -A' can remove files
22
37 - Many people said that by default when sending more than 2 patches the
38 - threading git-send-email makes by default is hard to read, and they
39 - prefer the default be one cover letter and each patch as a direct
40 - follow-up to the cover letter. You can countermand this by setting a
41 - configuration variable.
23 +I didn't like the existing documentation for "add -u" myself (especially
24 +because I wrote the initial version) and this neatly fix it as well.
