Again, it has one notable\nfix among minor test fixes.\n\n - Do not mark tags fetched via --tags flag as mergeable.\n\n   This is to fix \"git pull --tags\"; it tried to merge all of\n   the tags by mistake --- it should not merge any of them.\n\nI have verified that the patch by Gerrit to fix merge-order test\nis correct, but have not got around to apply it yet.\n\nThe master branch has the following enhancements in addition to\nwhat is in 1.0.6.  I intend to have 1.1 release with them early\nnext year, when I come back from the new year break.\n\n - \"git clone -o branchname\" to specify name of the branch used\n   to keep track of the upstream (Johannes).\n \n - \"core.sharedrepository\" and \"git init-db --shared\" to help\n   group writable repositories (Johannes).\n\n - IPV6 literal address in git networking protocol (Hideaki).\n\n - \"git pack-redundant\" is more efficient (Lukas).\n\n - \"git describe\" and associated Makefile changes to give GIT\n   releases a bit more descriptive names (Linus and me).\n\n - \"git checkout <treeish> <path>...\" and \"git checkout -- <path>...\"\n   can be used to restore named paths even from a subdirectory.\n\n - git-receive-pack propagates hooks' refusal to update back to\n   git-send-pack.\n\nI'll be away from the network and will be back on the second\nweek of January.  I wish everybody a happy new year.\n"}]}
