+What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #04; Mon, 19)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* jk/color-parse (Sat Jan 17 10:38:46 2009 -0500) 2 commits
+ + expand --pretty=format color options
+ + color: make it easier for non-config to parse color specs
+
+* sb/hook-cleanup (Sat Jan 17 04:02:55 2009 +0100) 5 commits
+ + run_hook(): allow more than 9 hook arguments
+ + run_hook(): check the executability of the hook before filling
+   argv
+ + api-run-command.txt: talk about run_hook()
+ + Move run_hook() from builtin-commit.c into run-command.c (libgit)
+ + checkout: don't crash on file checkout before running post-
+   checkout hook
+
+* js/maint-all-implies-HEAD (Sat Jan 17 22:27:08 2009 -0800) 2 commits
+ - bundle: allow the same ref to be given more than once
+ - revision walker: include a detached HEAD in --all
+
+* tr/previous-branch (Sat Jan 17 19:08:12 2009 +0100) 6 commits
+ - Fix parsing of @{-1}@{1}
+ - interpret_nth_last_branch(): avoid traversing the reflog twice
+ - checkout: implement "-" abbreviation, add docs and tests
+ - sha1_name: support @{-N} syntax in get_sha1()
+ - sha1_name: tweak @{-N} lookup
+ - checkout: implement "@{-N}" shortcut name for N-th last branch
+
+* rs/ctype (Sat Jan 17 16:50:37 2009 +0100) 4 commits
+ + Add is_regex_special()
+ + Change NUL char handling of isspecial()
+ + Reformat ctype.c
+ + Add ctype test
+
+* mh/unify-color (Sun Jan 18 21:39:12 2009 +0100) 2 commits
+ - move the color variables to color.c
+ - handle color.ui at a central place
+
+* jf/am-failure-report (Sun Jan 18 19:34:31 2009 -0800) 2 commits
+ + git-am: re-fix the diag message printing
+ + git-am: Make it easier to see which patch failed
+
+* cb/add-pathspec (Wed Jan 14 15:54:35 2009 +0100) 2 commits
+ - remove pathspec_match, use match_pathspec instead
+ - clean up pathspec matching
+
+* sg/maint-gitdir-in-subdir (Fri Jan 16 16:37:33 2009 +0100) 1 commit
+ + Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir
+
+This has my "don't do the fullpath if you are directly inside .git"
+squashed in, so it should be much safer.
+
+* am/maint-push-doc (Sun Jan 18 15:36:58 2009 +0100) 4 commits
+ + Documentation: avoid using undefined parameters
+ + Documentation: mention branches rather than heads
+ + Documentation: remove a redundant elaboration
+ + Documentation: git push repository can also be a remote
+
+* sp/runtime-prefix (Sun Jan 18 13:00:15 2009 +0100) 5 commits
+ - Windows: Revert to default paths and convert them by
+   RUNTIME_PREFIX
+ - Modify setup_path() to only add git_exec_path() to PATH
+ - Add calls to git_extract_argv0_path() in programs that call
+   git_config_*
+ - git_extract_argv0_path(): Move check for valid argv0 from caller
+   to callee
+ - Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in
+   preparation for RUNTIME_PREFIX)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
+
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
+   format
+ + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
+
+This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
+the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
+rev-parse to dig further.  The line number in the "previous" information
+may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
+need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
+
+* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
+ - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
+ - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
+ - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
+
+The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
+think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
+the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Actively cooking]
+
+* kb/lstat-cache (Sun Jan 18 16:14:54 2009 +0100) 5 commits

+ + lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
+ + lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path()
+   function
+ + lstat_cache(): more cache effective symlink/directory detection
+
+This is the tenth round, now in 'next'.
+
+* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Mon Jan 12 00:45:55 2009 +0100) 3 commits
+ - builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
+ - archive.c: enable traversal of submodules
+ - tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules
+
+Still getting active reviews.
+
+* lt/maint-wrap-zlib (Wed Jan 7 19:54:47 2009 -0800) 1 commit
+ + Wrap inflate and other zlib routines for better error reporting
+
+Needs the "free our memory upon seeing Z_MEM_ERROR and try again" bits
+extracted from Shawn's patch on top of this one.
+
+* jk/signal-cleanup (Sun Jan 11 06:36:49 2009 -0500) 3 commits
+ - pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death

+
+Sorry, I lost track.  What is the status of this one?

+   individually
+
+Dscho's series that was done in response to Thomas's original; two agreed
+to work together on this codebase.
+
+* ks/maint-mailinfo-folded (Tue Jan 13 01:21:04 2009 +0300) 5 commits
+ - mailinfo: tests for RFC2047 examples
+ - mailinfo: add explicit test for mails like '<a.u.thor@example.com>
+   (A U Thor)'
+ - mailinfo: more smarter removal of rfc822 comments from 'From'
+ + mailinfo: 'From:' header should be unfold as well
+ + mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
+
+I think "more smarter" one is too aggressive for our purpose.  Perhaps not
+removing comments at all would be what we want.
+
+* js/patience-diff (Thu Jan 1 17:39:37 2009 +0100) 3 commits
