+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.

146
+* bc/maint-keep-pack (Mon Nov 3 14:43:22 2008 -0600) 3 commits
147
+ . pack-objects: honor '.keep' files
148
+ . packed_git: convert pack_local flag into a bitfield and add
149
+ pack_keep
150
+ . t7700: demonstrate mishandling of objects in packs with a .keep
151
+ file
152

153

159
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
160
+
161
+This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
162
+Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
163
+continue.

165

166
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
167
+ asked for
168
+
169
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
170
+but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
171
+this back for now.
