135 +should be used.

164 +[Actively Cooking]
165 +
166 +* tr/workflow-doc (Sat Sep 13 18:11:01 2008 +0200) 2 commits
167 + + Documentation: Refer to git-rebase(1) to warn against rewriting

175 +* sh/rebase-i-p (Wed Oct 15 02:44:40 2008 -0500) 8 commits
176 + - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent
177 + - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching
178 + UPSTREAM
179 + - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo
180 + - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges
181 + - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing
182 + - rebase-i-p: use HEAD for updating the ref instead of mapping
183 + OLDHEAD
184 + - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents
185 + + rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
186 +
187 +Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's
188 +rewrite of `rebase -i` would behave.
189 +

191 + + diff: add filter for converting binary to text

193 + + diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code
194 + + t4012: use test_cmp instead of cmp
195 +
196 +A general cleanup on how diff drivers are implemented. Its still
197 +missing documentation updates and tests but doesn't break anything
198 +current as far as I can tell.
199 +

206 +[On Hold]
207 +
208 +* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 2 commits
209 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
210 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
211 +
212 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not
213 +so great.
214 +
215 +* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
216 + - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
217 +
218 +This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
219 +Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
220 +continue.
221 +
222 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
223 + - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental

226 +

228 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
229 + asked for
230 +
231 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
232 +but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
233 +this back for now.
