What is not in git.git

You keep mentioning 1.6.2 and I take it as a hint that the project is approaching the pre release freeze. There are some patches sent to the list that are not in git.git, and I am wondering what their statuses are.

 1. From: ecashin@coraid.com
    Subject: [PATCH] git-describe documentation: --match pattern is glob
    Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:21:53 -0500
    Message-ID: <dfa634dbd8def9e205bbe219217179ca@coraid.com>

    I thought this was correct, but was missing a sign-off. Perhaps it was
    dropped on the floor because it was sent in a wrong format that is
    harder to apply?

 2. From: Arjen Laarhoven <arjen@yaph.org>
    Subject: [PATCH 2/2] git-log: Follow file copies with 'git log --follow -C -C'
    Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2009 17:37:25 +0100
    Message-ID: <1232642245-94405-2-git-send-email-arjen@yaph.org>

    Junio seemed to like the patch but asked a question; I did not see a
    response nor updated patch (sorry, I do not read C and cannot comment
    on the correctness of the patch).

 3. From: Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net>
    Subject: [PATCH] gitweb: support the rel=vcs microformat
    Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 23:25:18 -0500
    Message-ID: <20090107042518.GB24735@gnu.kitenet.net>

    A few exchanges of review comments and responses, and then this topic
    went dark.

    From: Benjamin Kramer <benny.kra@googlemail.com>
    Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: Use libc strlcpy on OSX
    Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 16:41:30 +0100
    Message-ID: <7f978c810901240741k201f954dx1c0470186094ae24@mail.gmail.com>

    My reading of the thread is that the only remaining issue was to limit
    the change to specific versions, and I think people who use OSX can help
    polish this topic to completion.

 4. From: Pete Wyckoff <pw@padd.com>
    Subject: [PATCH] git-p4: avoid syncing duplicate changes
    Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2009 08:45:40 -0800
    Message-ID: <20090128164540.GA2137@padd.com>

    Nobody commented on this as far as I can tell. Do people not care
    about p4? Simon Hausmann seem to be the most recent active contributor
    and perhaps he can comment on this patch.

 5. From: jidanni@jidanni.org
    Subject: [PATCH] Documentation/git-show-branch.txt: compact -g
    Date: Tue,  6 Jan 2009 11:14:02 +0800
    Message-Id: <1231211642-14463-1-git-send-email-jidanni@jidanni.org>

    I couldn't figure out what "compact -g" meant but other than that I
    think this patch is correct. Perhaps Junio has the author in his mail
    ignore list?

 6. From: Alexander Potashev <aspotashev@gmail.com>
    Subject: [PATCH] Replace deprecated dashed git commands in usage
    Date: Sun,  4 Jan 2009 21:39:27 +0300
    Message-ID: <1231094367-8831-1-git-send-email-aspotashev@gmail.com>

    This should have been in 1.6.0 already but it is still not.
    Forgotten?

 7. From: Dirk Hörner <dirker@gmail.com>
    Subject: [PATCH] git-cvsimport: add support for cvs pserver password scrambling.
    Date: Fri, 28 Nov 2008 20:06:40 +0200
    Message-ID: <5794AED2-43FF-4441-8292-0C9BFB3139A2@gmail.com>

    I think Johannes Schindelin commented but then nothing happened to
    this patch. Is there any more work necessary for its inclusion?

 8. From: Heikki Hokkanen <hoxu@users.sf.net>
    Subject: [PATCH] git show-ref: add --remotes option.
    Date: Mon, 13 Oct 2008 22:23:47 +0300
    Message-ID: <48F3A043.5070406@users.sf.net>

    I saw no comments but it is consistent with how git-rev-list allows
    you say branches and tags. Is there anything wrong with the patch?
