 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.
 
-The tip of 'master' is v1.9.0.  The first maintenance release for it
-will be "Git 1.9.1", and the major release after "Git 1.9.0" will
-either be "Git 2.0.0" or "Git 1.10.0".
+The tip of 'next' hasn't been rewound, and none of the topics that
+have been cooking there has graduated, yet.  Hopefully that can
+start happening to open the new development cycle later this week,
+at which time I'll be also updating tinyurl.com/gitCal and also
+annotate the topics listed in this file with the course of action
+(i.e. if you run "Meta/cook -w", many are listed as Undecided right
+now, which I need to fix).
+
+There are many stalled topics; I think some of them do deserve to be
+discarded as marked, but others do solve (or at least attempt to)
+real issues and it would be nice to see people help unblock them
+(one reason for blockage would be that they introduce regressions).

 [New Topics]
 
-* ks/tree-diff-nway (2014-02-14) 2 commits
- - combine-diff: speed it up, by using multiparent diff
- - tree-diff: rework diff_tree() to generate diffs for multiparent cases as well
- (this branch uses ks/combine-diff, ks/tree-diff-more and ks/tree-diff-walk.)
+* bc/blame-crlf-test (2014-02-18) 1 commit
+ - blame: add a failing test for a CRLF issue.
 
- Instead of running N pair-wise diff-trees when inspecting a
- N-parent merge, find the set of paths that were touched by walking
- N+1 trees in parallel.  These set of paths can then be turned into
- N pair-wise diff-tree results to be processed through rename
- detections and such.  And N=2 case nicely degenerates to the usual
- 2-way diff-tree, which is very nice.
 
- Promising, but unfortunately the implementation seems a bit too
- unportable for such a core part of the system.
