--------------------------------------------------

-Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10
-only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
11
-marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
12
-holding onto them.
9
+These topics in 'next' (ones prefixed with '+') and 'pu' (ones prefixed
10
+with '.') will not be in 1.6.4 final, and are subject to be rewound once
11
+it happens.
12
14
-The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
15
-meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
16
-
17
-It has been relatively quiet for the past few weeks. The 'next' branch is
18
-getting quite thin, and it would be a good time to declare -rc0. I'll do
19
-so by my Wednesday.
13
+We have quite a few solid topics in 'next', so hopefully the next cycle
14
+would be shorter than usual. I'd propose to call it 1.6.5, and then make
15
+the one after that 1.7.0, which means that during the 1.6.5 cycle, 'next'
16
+will have the two incompatible "push" (actually, receive-pack) changes
17
+hitherto kept on hold in 'pu'.
