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 the 'master' branch is tagged as v1.8.3-rc1.  We seem to
have a few interesting topics that are being discussed but it is
unlikely I'll be picking them up in 'pu'.  As we already have merged
enough changes to 'master' during this cycle that can potentially
cause unforseen regressions, let's not merge topics that are not
regression fixes from 'next' to 'master', either, until the final
release.

You can find the changes described here in the integration branches
of the repositories listed at

[Graduated to "master"]

* hb/git-pm-tempfile (2013-04-29) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-29 at fecc6b0)
 + Git.pm: call tempfile from File::Temp as a regular function

* mb/relnotes-1.8.3-typofix (2013-04-30) 1 commit

 + remote: check for superfluous arguments in 'git remote add'
 + remote: add a test for extra arguments, according to docs

* tr/unpack-entry-use-after-free-fix (2013-04-30) 1 commit

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-25 at a8264bf)
 + bash-prompt.sh: show where rebase is at when stopped

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

* fc/at-head (2013-05-02) 5 commits
 - Add new @ shortcut for HEAD
 - sha1_name: refactor reinterpret()
 - sha1_name: compare variable with constant, not constant with variable
 - sha1_name: remove unnecessary braces
 - sha1_name: remove no-op

 People are too lazy to type four capital letters "HEAD" and want to
 use a single line-noise "@" instead.

* fc/remote-bzr (2013-04-30) 18 commits
 - remote-bzr: access branches only when needed
 - remote-bzr: delay peer branch usage
 - remote-bzr: iterate revisions properly
 - remote-bzr: improve progress reporting
 - remote-bzr: add option to specify branches
 - remote-bzr: add custom method to find branches
 - remote-bzr: improve author sanitazion
 - remote-bzr: add support for shared repo
 - remote-bzr: fix branch names
 - remote-bzr: add support for bzr repos
 - remote-bzr: use branch variable when appropriate
 - remote-bzr: fix partially pushed merge
 - remote-bzr: fixes for branch diverge
 - remote-bzr: add support to push merges
 - remote-bzr: always try to update the worktree
 - remote-bzr: fix order of locking in CustomTree
 - remote-bzr: delay blob fetching until the very end
 - remote-bzr: cleanup CustomTree

* jk/lookup-object-prefer-latest (2013-05-02) 1 commit
 - lookup_object: prioritize recently found objects

* jk/subtree-do-not-push-if-split-fails (2013-05-01) 1 commit
 - contrib/subtree: don't delete remote branches if split fails

--------------------------------------------------
[Stalled]

* mg/more-textconv (2013-04-23) 7 commits
 - git grep: honor textconv by default
 - grep: honor --textconv for the case rev:path
 - grep: allow to use textconv filters
 - t7008: demonstrate behavior of grep with textconv
 - cat-file: do not die on --textconv without textconv filters
 - show: honor --textconv for blobs
 - t4030: demonstrate behavior of show with textconv

 Rerolled. I am not sure if I like "show <blob>" and "grep" that use
 textconv by default, though.

* mh/multimail (2013-04-21) 1 commit
 - git-multimail: a replacement for post-receive-email

 Waiting for comments.

* jc/format-patch (2013-04-22) 2 commits
 - format-patch: --inline-single
 - format-patch: rename "no_inline" field

 A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be
 appended at the bottom of a message.  I personally have no need for
 this, but it was easy enough to cobble together.  Tests, docs and
 stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested
 parties.

 Not ready for inclusion.

* jk/gitweb-utf8 (2013-04-08) 4 commits
 - gitweb: Fix broken blob action parameters on blob/commitdiff pages
 - gitweb: Don't append ';js=(0|1)' to external links
 - gitweb: Make feed title valid utf8
 - gitweb: Fix utf8 encoding for blob_plain, blobdiff_plain, commitdiff_plain, and patch

 Various fixes to gitweb.

 Waiting for a reroll after a review.

* jk/commit-info-slab (2013-04-19) 3 commits
 - commit-slab: introduce a macro to define a slab for new type
 - commit-slab: avoid large realloc
 - commit: allow associating auxiliary info on-demand
 (this branch is used by jc/show-branch.)

 Technology demonstration to show a way we could use unbound number
 of flag bits on commit objects.

* jn/config-ignore-inaccessible (2013-04-15) 1 commit
 - config: allow inaccessible configuration under $HOME

 When $HOME is misconfigured to point at an unreadable directory, we
 used to complain and die. This loosens the check.

 I do not think we agreed that this is a good idea, though.

--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]

* fc/completion (2013-04-27) 9 commits
 - completion: remove __git_index_file_list_filter()
 - completion: add space after completed filename
 - completion: add hack to enable file mode in bash < 4
 - completion: refactor __git_complete_index_file()
 - completion: refactor diff_index wrappers
 - completion: use __gitcompadd for __gitcomp_file
 - completion; remove unuseful comments
 - completion: document tilde expansion failure in tests
 - completion: add file completion tests

 I saw this discussed somewhat. Is everybody happy with this
 version?  This is its v2, in the $gmane/222682 thread.

* jk/test-output (2013-04-29) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-05-01 at 63827c9)
 + test output: respect $TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY
 + t/Makefile: fix result handling with TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

 When TEST_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY setting is used, it was handled somewhat
 inconsistently between the test framework and t/Makefile, and logic
 to summarize the results looked at a wrong place.

 Will cook in 'next'.

* rj/mingw-cygwin (2013-04-28) 2 commits
 - cygwin: Remove the CYGWIN_V15_WIN32API build variable
 - mingw: rename WIN32 cpp macro to GIT_WINDOWS_NATIVE

 Cygwin portability; both were reviewed by Jonathan, and the tip one
 seems to want a bit further explanation.  Needs positive report
 from Cygwin 1.7 users who have been on 1.7 to make sure it does not
 regress for them.

* rj/sparse (2013-04-28) 10 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-05-01 at 649e16c)
 + sparse: Fix mingw_main() argument number/type errors
 + compat/mingw.c: Fix some sparse warnings
 + compat/win32mmap.c: Fix some sparse warnings
 + compat/poll/poll.c: Fix a sparse warning
 + compat/win32/pthread.c: Fix a sparse warning
 + compat/unsetenv.c: Fix a sparse warning
 + compat/nedmalloc: Fix compiler warnings on linux

 + compat/regex/regexec.c: Fix some sparse warnings

 Will cook in 'next'.

* js/transport-helper-error-reporting-fix (2013-04-28) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-29 at 8cc4bb8)
 + git-remote-testgit: build it to run under $SHELL_PATH
 + git-remote-testgit: further remove some bashisms
 + git-remote-testgit: avoid process substitution
 (this branch uses fc/transport-helper-error-reporting.)

 Finishing touches to fc/transport-helper-error-reporting topic.
 Will cook in 'next'.

* mh/fetch-into-shallow (2013-05-02) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-05-03 at 3fadc61)
 + t5500: add test for fetching with an unknown 'shallow'
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-29 at a167d3e)
 + upload-pack: ignore 'shallow' lines with unknown obj-ids

 Will cook in 'next'.

* kb/full-history-compute-treesame-carefully (2013-04-30) 8 commits
 - revision.c: discount UNINTERESTING parents
 - simplify-merges: drop merge from irrelevant side branch
 - simplify-merges: never remove all TREESAME parents
 - t6012: update test for tweaked full-history traversal
 - revision.c: Make --full-history consider more merges
 - rev-list-options.txt: correct TREESAME for P
 - t6019: test file dropped in -s ours merge
 - decorate.c: compact table when growing

 Major update to a very core part of the system to improve culling
 of irrelevant parents while traversing a mergy history.

 Will not be a 1.8.3 material.

* jh/checkout-auto-tracking (2013-04-21) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-22 at 2356700)
 + glossary: Update and rephrase the definition of a remote-tracking branch
 + branch.c: Validate tracking branches with refspecs instead of refs/remotes/*
 + t9114.2: Don't use --track option against "svn-remote"-tracking branches
 + t7201.24: Add refspec to keep --track working
 + t3200.39: tracking setup should fail if there is no matching refspec.
 + checkout: Use remote refspecs when DWIMming tracking branches
 + t2024: Show failure to use refspec when DWIMming remote branch names
 + t2024: Add tests verifying current DWIM behavior of 'git checkout <branch>'

 Updates "git checkout foo" that DWIMs the intended "upstream" and
 turns it into "git checkout -t -b foo remotes/origin/foo" to
 correctly take existing remote definitions into account.  The
 remote "origin" may be what uniquely map its own branch to
 remotes/some/where/foo but that some/where may not be "origin".

 Will cook in 'next'.

* jc/prune-all (2013-04-25) 4 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-26 at 97a7387)
 + prune: introduce OPT_EXPIRY_DATE() and use it
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-22 at b00ccf6)
 + api-parse-options.txt: document "no-" for non-boolean options
 + git-gc.txt, git-reflog.txt: document new expiry options
 + date.c: add parse_expiry_date()
 (this branch is used by mh/packed-refs-various.)

 We used the approxidate() parser for "--expire=<timestamp>" options
 of various commands, but it is better to treat --expire=all and
 --expire=now a bit more specially than using the current timestamp.
 Update "git gc" and "git reflog" with a new parsing function for
 expiry dates.

 Will cook in 'next'.

* as/check-ignore (2013-04-29) 6 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-30 at 646931f)
 + t0008: use named pipe (FIFO) to test check-ignore streaming
  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-21 at 7515aa8)
 + Documentation: add caveats about I/O buffering for check-{attr,ignore}
 + check-ignore: allow incremental streaming of queries via --stdin
 + check-ignore: move setup into cmd_check_ignore()
 + check-ignore: add -n / --non-matching option
 + t0008: remove duplicated test fixture data

 Enhance "check-ignore" (1.8.2 update) to work more like "check-attr"
 over bidi-pipes.

 Will cook in 'next'.

 Will cook in 'next', but may be 1.8.3 material depending on how things go.

  (merged to 'next' on 2013-04-24 at 6306b29)
