A lot of people have\nsent patches, and it pains me not to be able to honour their work\nwith frequent releases.\n\nI am thus looking for someone who would be willing to take over\nreleases of TopGit, at least until my backlog has cleared and\nI managed to get my thesis in.\n\nThe next release, 0.6 is mostly ready (announcement-in-preparation\nattached), but one of the things that needs to happen in the near\nfuture is a reimplementation of option parsing using git-rev-parse\nto address some of the current limitations.\n\nI'll be glad to assist anyone taking on the task in any way I can.\nI will still take care of Debian releases.\n\nCheers,\n\n-- \nmartin;              (greetings from the heart of the sun.)\n  \\____ echo mailto: !#^.\"<*>\"|tr \"<*> mailto:\" net@madduck\n \nall software projects are done by iterative prototyping.\nsome companies call their prototypes \"releases\", that's all.\n \nspamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net\n\n\nDear everyone,\n\nIt's been a while since life has keeping me busy, but here it is:\nTopGit 0.6.\n\nThis release features a number of fixes and enhancements, including\n\n  - Uwe's work to improve tg-export\n  - Completion updates (still bash-only, any zsh wizards out there?)\n  - Pager improvements by Kirill\n  - Kirill's work to allow you to use worktree and index to generate\n    patches\n\nPlease refer to the shortlog below for more information.\n\nIf you are interested in TopGit and you work on distro packaging,\nyou ought to have a look at http://vcs-pkg.org.\n\nTopGit is meant as a fresh start in the steps of StGIT, quilt-in-git\nand others, of course in an attempt to Get It Right this time\naround. TopGit is a minimal porcelain layer that will manage your\npatch queue using topic branches, one patch per branch, never\nrewriting the history in order to enable a fully distributed\nworkflow.\n\nYou can get TopGit at\n\n  http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git\n\nand read up on its design, usage and implementation at:\n\n  http://repo.or.cz/w/topgit.git?a=blob;f=README\n\nA tarball will become available on the Debian mirrors as\n/debian/pool/main/t/topgit/topgit_0.6.orig.tar.gz as soon as I find\ntime to upload to the Debian archive, hopefully this week. You can\nalso obtain the tarball from the repo's pristine-tar[0] branch:\n\n  pristine-tar checkout ../topgit_0.6.orig.tar.gz\n\n0. http://packages.debian.org/source/sid/pristine-tar\n\n\ngit shortlog topgit-0.5..topgit-0.6:\n\nBert Wesarg (1):\n      tg-summary: -t and --graphviz are mutual exclusive\n\nJonas Fonseca (1):\n      README: spelling fixes\n\nKirill Smelkov (5):\n      tg-completion: complete options for `tg summary`\n      tg-completion: complete options for `tg remote`\n      Implement setup_pager just like in git\n      tg-patch: fix pagination\n      tg-patch: add support for generating patches against worktree and index\n\nMarc Weber (1):\n      Pass -- to rev-list for branch/filename disambiguation\n\nUwe Kleine-König (5):\n      tg-export: implement skipping empty patches for quilt mode\n      tg export (collapse): implement skipping empty patches\n      tg export (quilt): Implement flattening patch paths\n      tg export (quilt): Implement numbering the patches\n      make tg remote idempotent\n\nmartin f. krafft (14):\n      ignore tg-depend build files\n      remove +x bit from tg-depend\n      Make sure gitignore patterns are not recursive\n      add ignore patterns for quilt and debian build\n      Change tg help exit code to 0\n      Check for cmddir earlier\n      Print help output when no command is given\n      Require an argument to tg -r\n      Print help message when command is not proper\n      Note that do_help is used when short messages might be wanted\n      Add Vim modelines for consistent spacing\n      Check for git-send-email and die if not found\n      put tg version into a variable at the top\n      bump version number to 0.6\n\n-- \nmartin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/\n \n\"i think, therefore i'm single\"\n                                                      -- lizz winstead\n \nspamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net\n"}]}
