-This one is for Ingo.
-
-This changes the message rerere issues after reusing previous conflict
-resolution from "Resolved" to "Staged" when autoupdate option is in
-effect.
-
-It is envisioned that in practice, some auto resolutions are trickier and
-iffier than others, and we would want to add a feature to mark individual
-resolutions as "this is ok to autoupdate" or "do not autoupdate the result
-using this resolution even when rerere.autoupdate is in effect" in the
-future.  When that happens, these messages will make the distinction
-clearer.

-
-Cloning or fetching from a repository from grafts did not send objects
-that are hidden by grafts, but the commits in the resulting repository do
-need these to pass fsck.  This fixes object transfer to ignore grafts.
-
-Another fix is needed to git-prune so that it ignores grafts but treats
-commits that are mentioned in grafts as reachable.

- - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental

- - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
-
-This is for peeling the line from the blamed version to see what's behind
-it, which may or may not help applications like gitweb.
