* The 'maint' branch has these fixes since the last announcement.
  I am planning to cut a 1.4.2.1 with them soon.
   Dennis Stosberg:
      Solaris does not support C99 format strings before version 10
   Johannes Schindelin:
      git-mv: succeed even if source is a prefix of destination
      git-mv: add more path normalization
   Junio C Hamano:
      finish_connect(): thinkofix
* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement.
  - Many many clean-ups by David Rientjes.
  - Portability fixes by Dennis Stosberg for Solaris.
  - Franck Bui-Huu's "format-patch --signoff" updates.
  - Gitweb clean-up continues, headed by Jakub Narebski with
    help from Martin Waitz and Yasushi Shoji.
  - There was a code to sleep before writing out the index, in
    order to avoid paying runtime costs in the racy-git
    avoidance code later.  After some experimenting and a bit of
    thinking, removed this sleep.  While at it, documented what
    the racy-git problem is and how the avoidance works.
  - Ville Skyttä updated Emacs VC support.
* The 'next' branch, in addition, has these.
  - Git.pm/Git.xs series as before (no change)
  - git-merge-recur as before (no change)
  - upload-pack tweaks for the case where downloader has more
    root than the server (no change -- need testing)
  - git-apply --reverse --binary (new)
    Earlier "git apply --reverse" rejected binary patch because
    our binary patch format was irreversible.  So I made it
    reversible, and wrote some tests.  This affects both diff
    and apply.
* The 'pu' branch, in addition, has these.
  - git-status WIP
    I am hoping I can drop this; the implementation Peff
    outlined sounded far simpler and cleaner.
  - git-apply --reject (WIP)
    I started working on an option to let 'git apply' apply a
    patch whose some hunks do and some hunks do not apply, while
    leaving rejects in a separate file (or files).  Haven't
    started testing this yet, though.
