Tonight's tip of 'master' is at v1.6.6-rc0. I am aware of a handful of
patches sent today but they didn't arraive before I started today's
integration cycle and are left out from today's tree.

(merged to 'next' on 2009-11-15 at 3a77d01)
+ git submodule add: make the <path> parameter optional

Dscho started an interesting discussion regarding the larger workflow in
which the "submodule add" is used. I think the patch itself makes sense
but at the same time it probably makes sense to also take the <path> and
infer the <repository> as Dscho suggested, probably in "git submodule
add", not in "git add" proper, at least initially.

- Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs

+ mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] marker

Early part has been lived in 'next' for a while and has graduated. This
is a reroll of the remainder. Is everybody happy with merging this to
'next'? I saw some checkpatch style violations, but didn't find anything
objectionable in the logic.
Jim Meyering sent a patch to do a subset of what this does; to allow
keeping '[SECURITY]' when the subject says '[SECURITY][PATCH]', you need
to also teach "am" to pass the new -b option, but that is independent of
what Jim showed the need in real-world, so I think this can go in as-is.

want this (yet); the new feature is not urgent anyway.

I do not particularly like a configuration like this that changes the
behaviour of a command in a drastic way---it will make helping others much
harder.

Perhaps merge it to 'master' before 1.6.6-rc1?

Ajax-y blame, with further fixes. As this does not seem to break existing
features, I am inclined to say that we push this out early, as a new
feature with known breakages, to give it wider audience.

+ commit -c/-C/--amend: reset timestamp and authorship to committer with --reset-author

I just picked better bits from both versions, but this needs to be
rethought.
I am not sure if the option name does a good job at explaining it to the
end users, but I think the code and feature is solid.

Any comments? Should it go to Documentation/technical instead?
Nobody seems to think this should go to Documentation/technical instead,
so unless I hear otherwise, we will have it as-is in 'next' shortly.

Replaced again. Is everybody happy with merging this to 'next'?

The latest update I didn't look at very closely but I had an impression
that it was touching very generic codepath that would affect non sparse
cases, iow the patch looked very scary (the entire series already is).
Perhaps drop the "%-x" part and merge it to 'next' and to 'master' before
1.6.6?
