I think shooting for -rc1 by mid January and stabilizing by early to mid February for the real release, would be a realistic timeline. Actually I am getting more greedy, and would not mind to have clean ups and a few more features in the new release, even the ones that we have talked about but have not implemented. I am very tempted to have sliding window mmap() if it helps people on cygwin, for example. Also, I've been running with "next" for my daily pushes and pulls without trouble, and I am very tempted to push out the shallow-clone topic. Not that I think its shallow-clone part is useful -- I do not use the feature myself so I cannot judge -- but at least when shallow is enabled on neither ends, it does not seem to break anything. Although I do find the detached HEAD attractive and would want to have it eventually, I suspect that even if it materializes soon enough, it would at least need a couple of weeks of testing in 'next', so making -rc1 wait for it might push back the release a bit too much.
