+What's cooking in git.git (May 2009, #04; Sun, 31)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
+only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.  The ones
+marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
+holding onto them.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.  The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------

+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
+
+* jh/notes (Sat May 16 13:44:17 2009 +0200) 5 commits
+ - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
+ - Add an expensive test for git-notes
+ - Speed up git notes lookup
+ - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
+ - Introduce commit notes
+
+Dscho asked about the performance implications of this; I do not think I
+saw any progress on that yet...
+
+* ph/submodule-rebase (Fri Apr 24 09:06:38 2009 +1000) 1 commit
+ + git-submodule: add support for --rebase.
+
+There was a discussion on --rebase vs --merge and needs for unified
+configuration variable handling for this patch...
+
+* lt/read-directory (Fri May 15 12:01:29 2009 -0700) 3 commits
+ - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8
+ - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set
+   conversion
+ - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
+
+Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I
+think.  For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without
+bounds check.
+
+* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits
+ - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
+ - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
+
+Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
+solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
+may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.
+
+* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
+ - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
+
+A few minor point remains in this initial one.  I hate to do these minor
+fix-ups myself, but I may end up doing so...
+
+* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
+
+The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
+suite; this one has them fixed.  People did not like the UI so it is kept
+out of 'next'
+
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
+
+This is a feature waiting for a user.
+
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
+rules for that final path".  Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
+data in the canonical repository representation.
+
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse.  It reads the three
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
+representation and writes the resulting mess out.  It needs to be fixed to
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree().  It also needs to write
+in binary mode as well.
+
+* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
+ - Add option for using a foreign VCS
+ - Document details of transport function APIs
+ - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
+
+* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
+ - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
+ - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
+   branches
+ - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
+ - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
+ - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
+ - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
+ - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
+ - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
