The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
9
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
10
11
-It so happens that the topics clearly separated between the ones that are
12
-obviously ready for 1.6.0 and the others that aren't yet as of tonight.
13
-It seems that it is a good time to draw that line and tag -rc0 tomorrow,
14
-after merging the remaining topics in 'next'.
11
+Right now 'next' is very thin. After today's new topics, perhaps except
12
+for the submodule stuff by Pasky, are merged to 'master', we will have the
13
+1.6.0-rc0, and from there the usual pre-release freeze begins.
14
+
15
+Due to increased activity level from people including GSoC students, I
16
+expect 'next' to stay somewhat more active than previous rounds during the
17
+1.6.0-rc cycle. The request for people who usually follow 'next' is the
18
+same as usual, though. After -rc1 is tagged, please run 'master' for your
19
+daily git use instead, in order to make sure 'master' does what it claims
20
+to do without regression.
21
+
22
+Tentative schedule, my wishful thinking:
23
+
24
+ - 1.6.0-rc0 (Jul 20)
25
+ - 1.6.0-rc1 (Jul 23)
26
+ - 1.6.0-rc2 (Jul 30)

34
+ - rerere.autoupdate: change the message when autoupdate is in effect
35
+
36
+This one is for Ingo.
37
+
38
+This changes the message rerere issues after reusing previous conflict
39
+resolution from "Resolved" to "Staged" when autoupdate option is in
40
+effect.
41
+
42
+It is envisioned that in practice, some auto resolutions are trickier and
43
+iffier than others, and we would want to add a feature to mark individual
44
+resolutions as "this is ok to autoupdate" or "do not autoupdate the result
45
+using this resolution even when rerere.autoupdate is in effect" in the
46
+future. When that happens, these messages will make the distinction
47
+clearer.

50
+ - Reword "your branch has diverged..." lines to reduce line length
51
+
52
+You saw the exchange on the list. Queued is my "make it shorter and make
53
+sure variable parts are closer to left edge of the screen" version but
54
+better alternatives are welcome. I suspect not many people would care too
55
+much about details, as long as the message fits and does not waste screen
56
+real estate.

58
+* ns/am-abort (Wed Jul 16 19:39:10 2008 +0900) 1 commit

60

61
+This one is for Ted; builds on top of the recent "am and rebase leaves
62
+ORIG_HEAD just like reset, merge and pull does" rather nicely.

64
+* pb/submodule (Wed Jul 16 21:11:40 2008 +0200) 7 commits
65
+ - t7403: Submodule git mv, git rm testsuite
66
+ - git rm: Support for removing submodules
67
+ - git mv: Support moving submodules
68
+ - submodule.*: Introduce simple C interface for submodule lookup by
69
+ path
70
+ - git submodule add: Fix naming clash handling
71
+ - t7400: Add short "git submodule add" testsuite
72
+ - git-mv: Remove dead code branch
73
+
74
+Long overdue usability improvement series for submodule. Very much
75
+welcomed. It would be nice to have some submodule improvements in 1.6.0.
76
+Realistically speaking, however, I predict that it would take us a few
77
+more rounds to hit 'next' with this, and it will not be in 'master' when
78
+1.6.0 ships.
