We only just started talking about v1.5.0. I would expect it to be at least a month away, probably more. Definitely not by Christmas nor Linus's birthday.

I would agree we would LOVE to have that list by the time we do a real v1.5.0, so that should be on the TO-DO list. The essential sources of information are:

 * Previous "What's in" summaries.

 * Previous "GIT v1.X.X" announcements.

 * Output from this (pick the ones that are not marked with ^)

	for txt in Documentation/*.txt
	do
        	git blame v1.0.0..next -- "$txt"
	done

 * Output from this

	git log v1.0.0..next

My time however is rather tight and I feel it is better spent on the real development and release management. People who has been following the git list long enough should be able to come up with a draft to help the process.

I happen to think you are among the more qualified people.
