What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2008, #01; Tue, 02)
--------------------------------------------------

Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
@ -12,14 +12,75 @@ in 'next'.
The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

As we have already passed -rc1, things queued in 'next' let alone 'pu' are
unlikely to be merged to 'master' by the end of year unless otherwise
noted.

[New Topics]

* gb/gitweb-patch (Sat Nov 29 14:41:11 2008 +0100) 2 commits
- [DONTMERGE: wait for signoff] gitweb: links to patch action in
commitdiff and shortlog view
- gitweb: add patch view

* lt/reset-merge (Mon Dec 1 09:30:31 2008 -0800) 1 commit
+ Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset'

Unfortunately, I cannot write down a good use case in what circumstances
this is needed, even though I do recall that I occasionally (perhaps once
every two months) needed to do "read-tree -m -u" myself in the past, and
this patch brings that feature close to Porcelain. On the other hand, the
existing "reset --mixed" is very easily explained ("after starting to add
changes to the staging area, you realized that you screwed up, and you
want to redo it from scratch"). Therefore, I cannot justify what the log
message of this change claims myself.

* jc/rm-i-t-a (Fri Nov 28 19:56:34 2008 -0800) 5 commits
+ git add --intent-to-add: do not let an empty blob be committed by
accident
+ git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptiness
+ builtin-rm.c: explain and clarify the "local change" logic
+ Merge branch 'nd/narrow' (early part) into jc/add-i-t-a
+ Extend index to save more flags

As intent-to-add index entry is a new feature for 1.6.1, it probably is a
good idea to merge this to 'master'. Nitpicks and bugfixes are very much
appreciated.

* wp/add-patch-find (Thu Nov 27 04:08:03 2008 +0000) 3 commits
- In add --patch, Handle K,k,J,j slightly more gracefully.
- Add / command in add --patch
- git-add -i/-p: Change prompt separater from slash to comma

There are some other useful bits and pieces around this area exchanged on
the list with the author of these patches. I think it would become a
useful series after reassembling their pieces. Waiting for v2.

* jn/gitweb-utf8 (Mon Dec 1 19:01:42 2008 +0100) 1 commit
- gitweb: Fix handling of non-ASCII characters in inserted HTML
files.

Possibly a bugfix worthy to have in 1.6.1.

* jc/clone-symref-2 (Sat Nov 29 23:38:21 2008 -0800) 7 commits
- clone: test the new HEAD detection logic
- Merge commit 'HEAD@{2}' into HEAD
- upload-pack: send the HEAD information
- clone: find the current branch more explicitly
- connect.c::read_extra_info(): find where HEAD points at
- connect.c::read_extra_info(): prepare to receive more than server
capabilities
- get_remote_heads(): refactor code to read "server capabilities"

This is no way meant for 1.6.1, let alone next, yet.

After merging these to 'master' I found a breakage which I hopefully
fixed.

This makes "repack -A -d" without -d do the same thing as "repack -a -d",
which makes sense. This does not have to go to 'maint', though.
