196 + + fix multiple issues in index-pack
197 + + index-pack: smarter memory usage during delta resolution

223 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
224 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification

226 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not

229 +* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
230 + - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
231 +
232 +This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
233 +Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
234 +continue.

243 + asked for
244 +
245 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
246 +but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
247 +this back for now.
