Subject: What's in git.git
Message-ID: <7vk6bvhju6.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

* Master branch has these since 1.2.1 maintenance release.

  - documentation fixes:
    git-commit: Now --only semantics is the default.

  - usability:
    - rebase aquired a hook to refuse rebasing.
    - commit and add detects misspelled pathspec while making a partial commit.
    - git-svnimport: -r adds svn revision number to commit messages
    - properly git-bisect reset after bisecting from non-master head
    - send-email: Add some options for controlling how addresses
      are automatically added to the cc: list.
    - send-email: Add --cc

* Next branch has these, that are not in master.  If you feel
  you would benefit from these, testing and feedback is greatly
  appreciated.

 - "Assume unchanged git" series (7 commits):

   This was done in response to people on filesystems with slow
   lstat(2).  I do not have such an environment, so I cannot say
   I tested it that much.

 - "Rebase to different branch" (1 commit):

   This was previously discussed on the list.  With this command
   line:

    	$ git rebase --onto master~1 master topic
    
   would rebase this ancestry graph to:
    
              A---B---C topic
             /
        D---E---F---G master
    
    
   another graph that looks like this:
    
                  A'--B'--C' topic
                 /
        D---E---F---G master

   Earlier, you couldn't rebase to anywhere other than on top of
   "the other branch".


* Proposed updates "pu" branch has these, not in "next".  Some
  of them are of iffy nature, and without further work will not
  go anywhere.

 - "merge-tree" series by Linus (2 commits).

   I haven't spent enough time looking at and thinking about
   this yet.

 - "reuse pack data" (1 commit).

   I still haven't seen data corruption with this one, which is
   a good sign, but would like to keep beating it privately for
   a while.  Perhaps will graduate to "next" by next week.

 - "bind commit" series (6 commits).

   I think the core-side is more or less done with this one.
   Anybody interested in doing Porcelain side?

 - "shallow clone" series (1 commit).

   I should drop this one for now and perhaps when enough people
   are interested reopen the issue.
