+What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #02; Mon, 11)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
+in 'next'.
+
+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]
+
+* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory
+
+* kh/diff-tree (Sun Aug 10 18:13:04 2008 +0200) 4 commits
+ + Add test for diff-tree --stdin with two trees
+ + Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees
+ + diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin
+ + Refactoring: Split up diff_tree_stdin
+
+* js/parallel-test (Fri Aug 8 13:08:37 2008 +0200) 3 commits
+ + Enable parallel tests
+ + tests: Clarify dependencies between tests, 'aggregate-results' and
+   'clean'
+ + t9700: remove useless check
+
+* xx/post-1.6.0 (Sun Aug 10 19:10:04 2008 -0400) 3 commits
+ + git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand
+ + builtin-reflog: Allow reflog expire to name partial ref
+ + git-am: ignore --binary option
+
+Some collection of patches to queue for post-1.6.0 development.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[Graduated to "master"]
+
+* rs/archive-parse-options (Fri Jul 25 12:41:26 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + archive: allow --exec and --remote without equal sign
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold and/or Cooking]
+
+* jc/post-simplify (Sun Aug 3 17:47:16 2008 -0700) 3 commits
+ + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
+ + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
+ + revision.c: whitespace fix
+
+"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
+than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
+
+* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
+   smart HTTP transport
+ - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
+
+The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
+top one queued is from before that discussion.
+
+* jc/add-stop-at-symlink (Mon Aug 4 00:52:37 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+ + update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+
+Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to
+add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link.  We would need
+a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule.
+
+* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
+ + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
+ + add --path option to git hash-object
+ + use parse_options() in git hash-object
+ + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
+ + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
+ + teach index_fd to work with pipes
+
+Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
+the path the contents comes from.
+
+* mv/merge-custom (Sat Aug 2 10:08:38 2008 +0200) 6 commits
+ + Builtin git-help.
+ + builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help()
+ + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
+ + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
+ + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy
+ + builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other
+   builtins
+
+* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
+ - git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
+   stepwise merge
+ + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
+ + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than
+   2 args
+ + merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying
+   merge_bases_many()
+
+* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
+ + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
+ + imap-send.c: more style fixes
+ + imap-send.c: style fixes
+ + git-imap-send: Support SSL
+ + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
+   a git tree
+
+Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
+Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
+so inclined.
+
+* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
+ - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
+
+The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
+seem to.  It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
+an optimization only.
+
+* jc/add-addremove (Tue Jul 22 22:30:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + builtin-add.c: optimize -A option and "git add ."
+ + builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
+
+* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ + spawn pager via run_command interface
+ + run-command: add pre-exec callback
+
+This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
+process.  We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
+status from git is lost from the caller.
+
+* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.
+
+* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
+   variables
+
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet.  Perhaps
+in 1.7.0.
+
+* jc/dashless (Thu Jun 26 16:43:34 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + Revert "Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local
+   transport"
+ + Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
+
+This is the "botched" one.  Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
+timeframe.
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
+   asked for
+
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
+hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
