Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.

* js/reflog (Thu Jan 11 11:47:48 2007 +0100) 1 commit
 - Teach the revision walker to walk by reflogs with --walk-reflogs

It appears to show list of commits with reflog messages, but I am not sure how useful it is until I get used to its output.

One question I keep asking reflog has been:
	When was commit X pushed out as part of 'master'?

I have reflog on a tracking branch that I fetch from the public git.git repository immediately after I push into it, so it is a matter of walking the reflog for that branch and see which one is the earliest one that is a descendant of the commit in question. It does not tell me about the mirroring lags, but at least let me keep track of when I pushed something out.

* jc/merge-base (Tue Jan 9 02:23:42 2007 -0800) 6 commits
 - Teach "git-merge-base --check-ancestry" about refs.
 - git-merge-base: --check-ancestry option
 + in_merge_bases(): optimization
 + merge_base(): move traversal into a separate function.
 + Allow in_merge_bases() to take more than one reference commits.
 + Make merge-base a built-in.
* sp/merge (Thu Dec 28 02:35:17 2006 -0500) 2 commits
 - Avoid git-fetch in `git-pull .` when possible.
 + Improve merge performance by avoiding in-index merges.
* jc/diff (Mon Dec 25 01:08:50 2006 -0800) 2 commits
 - test-para: combined diff between HEAD, index and working tree.
 - para-walk: walk n trees, index and working tree in parallel
* jc/explain (Mon Dec 4 19:35:04 2006 -0800) 1 commit
 - git-explain
* jc/3way (Wed Nov 29 18:53:13 2006 -0800) 1 commit
 + git-merge: preserve and merge local changes when doing fast
   forward
* jc/web (Wed Nov 8 14:54:09 2006 -0800) 1 commit
 - gitweb: steal loadavg throttle from kernel.org
* jc/pickaxe (Sun Nov 5 11:52:43 2006 -0800) 1 commit
 - blame: --show-stats for easier optimization work.
* jc/diff-apply-patch (Fri Sep 22 16:17:58 2006 -0700) 1 commit
 + git-diff/git-apply: make diff output a bit friendlier to GNU patch
   (part 2)
These are on hold.
