30 - - Changes for new vcs-helper series
31 - - Add simple test cases of git-vcs-cvs functionality
32 - - First draft of CVS importer using the foreign-scm machinery
33 - - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import

23 +* ld/p4 (Thu Jul 30 00:13:46 2009 +0100) 1 commit
24 + - git-p4: stream from perforce to speed up clones
25 +
26 +Waiting for Ack/Nack from stakeholders. Probably I should merge this to
27 +'next' soon, keep it there for a week and see if anybody screams, aka
28 +"Nack now or forever hold your peace" ;-).

30 +* mr/gitweb-xz (Thu Aug 6 10:28:25 2009 -0400) 3 commits
31 + - gitweb: add support for XZ compressed snapshots
32 + - gitweb: update INSTALL regarding specific snapshot settings
33 + - gitweb: support to globally disable a snapshot format
34 +
35 +This should be safe as long as it does not silently enable itself for
36 +folks who merely updated gitweb to this version without explicitly asking
37 +for the new format (but I do not remember if that is what the patch does).

42 + - Add Python support library for CVS remote helper
43 + - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts
44 +
45 +Builds on db/vcs-helper. The last round failed its own selftest for me,
46 +but this one seems to be Ok. Documentation/git-remote-cvs.txt needs to be
47 +fixed to build, though.
