Commits prefixed\nwith '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are\nin 'next'.  The topics list the commits in reverse chronological\norder.\n\nAll of them are post 1.5.1, as I've tagged -rc3 already.\n\n* fl/doc (Mon Mar 26 23:45:23 2007 -0700) 3 commits\n + Documentation: unbreak user-manual.\n + Documentation: Add version information to man pages\n + Documentation: Replace @@GIT_VERSION@@ in documentation\n\n* post1.5.1/tcltk (Wed Mar 28 04:22:02 2007 -0700) 3 commits\n - Rewrite Tcl/Tk interpreter path for the GUI tools.\n - Add --with-tcltk and --without-tcltk to configure.\n - NO_TCLTK\n\n* post1.5.1/p4 (Tue Mar 27 12:03:43 2007 -0400) 3 commits\n - Remove unused WITH_OWN_SUBPROCESS_PY from RPM spec\n - Added git-p4 package to the list of git RPMs.\n - Add the WITH_P4IMPORT knob to the Makefile.\n\nI think all of the above three are good, but I do not want to\nrisk changes to the build/release infrastructure after -rc.\n\n* post1.5.1/workdir (Tue Mar 27 00:15:32 2007 +0100) 1 commit\n - contrib/workdir: add a simple script to create a working directory\n\nNobody is clamoring to have this, although I do not think there\nis anything wrong with it (and it is a contrib/ thing).  I just\nhaven't had time to look at it closely for 'master'/'next' yet.\n\n* jc/bisect (Fri Mar 23 17:54:03 2007 -0700) 6 commits\n + make the previous optimization work also on path-limited rev-list\n   --bisect\n + rev-list --bisect: Fix \"halfway\" optimization.\n + t6004: add a bit more path optimization test.\n + git-rev-list --bisect: optimization\n + git-rev-list: add --bisect-vars option.\n + t6002: minor spelling fix.\n\nThis improves \"rev-list --bisect\" performance, sometimes\nsignificantly, especially in a repository with long lines of\nsingle-parent commits.\n\n* fl/cvsserver (Mon Mar 19 16:56:01 2007 +0100) 5 commits\n + cvsserver: Abort if connect to database fails\n + cvsserver: Make the database backend configurable\n + cvsserver: Allow to override the configuration per access method\n + cvsserver: Handle three part keys in git config correctly\n + cvsserver: Introduce new state variable 'method'\n\nThis is a beginning of supporting use of different database\nbackends, other than sqlite, with git-cvsserver.\n\n* jc/read-tree-df (Thu Mar 15 23:25:22 2007 -0700) 1 commit\n - Fix switching to a branch with D/F when current branch has file D.\n\nThis is unfortunately way premature as it seems to expose other\nbreakages this too-strict safety measure prevents from\nhappening.  We need to rethink the whole unpack_trees() business\nafter 1.5.1.\n\n* jc/pathattr (Thu Mar 1 01:20:21 2007 -0800) 5 commits\n - pathattr: allow piping to external program.\n - pathattr: read from git_config().\n - git-show: use pathattr to run \"display\"\n - pathattr: path based configuration of various attributes.\n + convert: add scaffolding for path based selection of conversion\n   routines.\n\nStalled.  gitattributes support should be one of the focus in\nthe 1.5.2 cycle.\n\n* js/fetch-progress (Sun Feb 25 13:13:17 2007 -0800) 1 commit\n + git-fetch: add --quiet\n* jc/merge-subtree (Thu Feb 15 16:32:45 2007 -0800) 1 commit\n - A new merge stragety 'subtree'.\n* jc/diff (Mon Dec 25 01:08:50 2006 -0800) 2 commits\n - test-para: combined diff between HEAD, index and working tree.\n - para-walk: walk n trees, index and working tree in parallel\n\nThe above are stalled.\n\n* jc/blame (Wed Mar 28 02:06:06 2007 -0700) 3 commits\n - git-blame: optimize get_origin() from linear search to hash-\n   lookup.\n - git-blame: pass \"struct scoreboard *\" pointers around.\n - blame: lift structure definitions up\n\nThis is so-far-not-so-fruitful optimization attempt to blame.\nIn oprofile, I see same_suspect() show up quite high; after\nexperimenting with these (I have another on top of it which is\nnot in 'pu'), I am starting to suspect that same_suspect() can\njust compare the address of two origins --- we need to make sure\nnobody creates two origin structure with the same address in a\nsingle scoreboard, which is needed before that happen.  That\nmakes assign_blame() spend about 5% less time than it currently\ndoes.\n"}]}
