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

 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.

-A handful of topics that graduated to 'master' a few weeks ago are
-now in 'maint', the tip of which has been tagged as v2.4.3.
+Somehow we are getting quite a many new topics in the past few
+weeks.  All the new contributors we acquired recently, including but
+not limited to the GSoC and Matthieu's students, are making good
+progress, throwing patches and responding to reviews in a reasonable
+way, proving themselves to be real assets to the community.

-On the 'master' front, another huge batch of "struct object_id"
-thing is now in.  So is Peff's 'master@{push}' series.
+Which, I am very happy about, even though I am a bit behind catching
+up with them.  "Let's skip commute to gain an extra productive hour"
+I tried yesterday did not help enough X-<.  I am sure I've either
+missed or postponed more than a few topics.  I'll try to get to them
+but some of them may fall in the cracks; please help by reviewing on
+uncommented patches.

 You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
 of the repositories listed at

-* jc/ll-merge-expose-path (2015-06-04) 1 commit
- - ll-merge: pass the original path to external drivers
+* af/tcsh-completion-noclobber (2015-06-09) 1 commit
+ - git-completion.tcsh: fix redirect with noclobber

- Traditionally, external low-level 3-way merge drivers are expected
- to produce their results based solely on the contents of the three
- variants given in temporary files named by %O, %A and %B on their
- command line.  Additionally allow them to look at the final path
- (given by %P).
+ The tcsh completion writes a bash scriptlet but that would have
+ failed for users with noclobber set.

+ iconv support when the specified encoding is not available, but the
+ patch does not go there.
+
+ Expecting a reroll.
