For my stuff, I think you can just take over my tips. I was just collecting and polishing topics, while Shawn was doing integration. For topics I have, please use my versions rather than applying from the list; many of them have extra fixes squashed in, acked-by's collected from the list, etc.

Here's a brief status report on what's in my tree:

  proposed-master
    One-off patches that I think should go straight to master.

  ef/mscv-noreturn
    This is the latest round and I think should be ready for at least
    'next' (maybe even 'master' as it is really about the build and not
    about functionality).

  ef/msys-imap
    This is from an RFC which has generated some comments. He should be
    posting another round soon. 'pu' at best.

  fc/mutt-alias
    Latest round that addressed comments. Ready for 'next' if not
    'master'.

  jn/gitweb-patch
    After some comments with Jakub, I think the code is right but he
    promised a re-roll with more in the commit message.

  mr/gitweb-snapshot
    This is probably the pu rewind you saw. He posted a v5 of his
    series. I didn't look at it closely, but Jakub ack'd it.

  tf/doc-pt-br
    Minor translation update, ack'd by somebody who can read it. :)
    Ready for 'master'.

There are a few patches floating on the list that I haven't picked up or looked too closely at yet. Just so we don't drop anything, they are:

  - curl http auth tweak:
    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/129455
    The author said he didn't really test it, and I haven't set up http
    auth to test it with, but probably somebody should do so before
    applying. :)

  - a new rev-cache from Nick

  - silence gcc warning:
    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/129485
    The warning is overly cautious, I think, but it is a dubious enough
    construct that it is probably worth fixing.

  - enable openssl on msvc
    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.msysgit/7238
    This goes on top of ef/msys-imap, but I think that will be getting a
    re-roll.
