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 fourth batch of topics in this cycle is now in 'master'.

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

[Graduated to "master"]

* bw/test-fix-grep-gnuism (2012-04-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at ee7eec4)
 + t9400: fix gnuism in grep

Fix two places that were the only place in the test suite that gave "a\+"
to platform grep and expected it to mean one or more "a", which is a
blatant GNUism.

* jc/maint-blame-minimal (2012-04-11) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at 2213284)
 + blame: accept --need-minimal

"git blame" started missing quite a few changes from the origin since we
stopped using the diff minimalization by default in v1.7.2 era.

* jh/apply-free-patch (2012-04-11) 9 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-15 at 8cccf57)

 + apply: free patch->result
 + apply: release memory for fn_table
 + apply: free patch->{def,old,new}_name fields
 + apply: rename free_patch() to free_patch_list()
 + apply: do not leak patches and fragments

Valgrind reports quite a lot of discarded memory inside apply.

* jk/rebase-i-submodule-conflict-only (2012-04-09) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-15 at 94367a8)
 + rebase -i continue: don't skip commits that only change submodules

Giving "--continue" to a conflicted "rebase -i" session skipped a commit
that only results in changes to submodules.

  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at 2769d39)

 + log --graph: fix break in graph lines
 + log --graph --stat: three-dash separator should come after graph lines

* ms/remote-usage-string (2012-04-09) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-15 at 704be8f)
 + remote: update builtin usage

As an independent follow-up, we may want to rethink how the overall usage
string and subcommand usage strings are maintained.

* pw/git-p4 (2012-04-09) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-15 at 81ea41a)
 + git p4: use "git p4" directly in tests
 + git p4: update name in script
 + git-p4: move to toplevel
 (this branch is used by ld/git-p4-tags-and-labels.)

* rs/commit-list-sort-in-batch (2012-04-17) 4 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-17 at 21208e9)
 + mergesort: rename it to llist_mergesort()
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-15 at 39fe527)
 + revision: insert unsorted, then sort in prepare_revision_walk()

 - strbuf: convenience format functions with \n automatically appended
 - Makefile: feed all header files to xgettext

Will merge to 'next' after squashing the fixup!
We can address the pseudo-underline of section headers in "git help --all"
as a follow-up patch.

 - git-svn: drop redundant blocking of SIGPIPE

[Stalled]

* jc/split-blob (2012-04-03) 7 commits
 - chunked-object: streaming checkout
 - chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
 - bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
 - bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
 - new representation types in the packstream
 - packfile: use varint functions
 + varint: make it available outside the context of pack
 (this branch is tangled with jc/index-v4.)

Not ready.

I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in
127b177 (bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30),
these are still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least
pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series
to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
learn it to be used remotely.

Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and
that I was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an
advice on how to pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary
support, I am somewhat dissapointed that the original patch series
that was sent almost two months ago still remains here without much
comments and updates from the developer community. I even made the
interface to the logic that decides where to split chunks easily
replaceable, and I deliberately made the logic in the original patch
extremely stupid to entice others, especially the "bup" fanboys, to
come up with a better logic, thinking that giving people an easy
target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help out. The plan is
not working :-(.

Will merge to 'next' after squashing the fixup!

* rt/cherry-revert-conflict-summary (2012-04-19) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-23 at e7766c2)
 + sequencer: remove additional blank line

In the older days, the header "Conflicts:" in "cherry-pick" and
"merge" was separated by a blank line from the list of paths that
follow for readability, but when "merge" was rewritten in C, we lost
it by mistake. Remove the newline from "cherry-pick" to make them
match again.

Will merge to 'master'.

* js/fast-import-test-9300 (2012-04-20) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-23 at a9bd236)
 + t9300-fast-import: avoid 'exit' in test_expect_success snippets

Will merge to 'master'.

* jm/maint-strncpy-diff-no-index (2012-04-16) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at 638ed9f)

Will merge to 'master'.

* lp/diffstat-with-graph (2012-04-18) 6 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-23 at 8de0747)
 + Prevent graph_width of stat width from falling below min
 + t4052: Test diff-stat output with minimum columns
 + t4052: Adjust --graph --stat output for prefixes
 + Adjust stat width calculations to take --graph output into account
 + Add output_prefix_length to diff_options

* cb/cherry-pick-rev-path-confusion (2012-04-15) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-23 at f872ba5)
 + cherry-pick: do not expect file arguments

The command line parser choked "git cherry-pick $name" when $name can be
both revision name and a pathname, even though $name can never be a path
in the context of the command.

The issue the patch addresses is real, but the way it is implemented felt
unnecessarily invasive a bit.  It may be cleaner for this caller to add
the "--" to the end of the argv_array it passes to setup_revisions().

Will merge to 'master'.

* cb/daemon-test-race-fix (2012-04-19) 1 commit
 - git-daemon wrapper to wait until daemon is ready

Fix race condition between starting and waiting for git-daemon in the
test.

Will merge to 'next'.

 + properly keep track of current working directory

The filesystem boundary was not correctly reported when .git directory
discovery stopped at a mount point.

 - http: Avoid limit of retrying request only twice
 - http: handle proxy authentication failure (error 407)
 - http: handle proxy proactive authentication
 - http: try http_proxy env var when http.proxy config option is not set

The code to talk to http proxies learn to use the same credential
API used to talk to the final http destinations.  This still needs
to peek into $ENV{HTTPS_PROXY}.

* mb/fetch-call-a-non-branch-a-ref (2012-04-17) 2 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at df2c57e)

Will merge to 'master'.

* mh/ref-api (2012-04-10) 13 commits

* pw/fast-import-dataref-parsing (2012-04-10) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at c299a63)

Will merge to 'master'.

* tr/xdiff-fast-hash (2012-04-09) 1 commit
 - xdiff: load full words in the inner loop of xdl_hash_record

Will merge to 'next'.

* jc/index-v4 (2012-04-04) 10 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-19 at 5e4b029)
 + update-index: upgrade/downgrade on-disk index version
 + read-cache.c: write prefix-compressed names in the index
 + read-cache.c: read prefix-compressed names in index on-disk version v4
 + read-cache.c: move code to copy incore to ondisk cache to a helper function
 + read-cache.c: move code to copy ondisk to incore cache to a helper function
 + read-cache.c: report the header version we do not understand
 + read-cache.c: make create_from_disk() report number of bytes it consumed
 + read-cache.c: allow unaligned mapping of the index file
 + cache.h: hide on-disk index details
 + varint: make it available outside the context of pack
 (this branch is tangled with jc/split-blob.)

Trivially shrinks the on-disk size of the index file to save both I/O and
checksum overhead.  The "v4" format represented here may not be what we
eventually want to have, but the preparatory refactoring steps and the way
how backward compatibility is retained should give plenty to learn to GSoC
student-hopefuls.

The bottom one makes use of "varint" encoding from the stalled
jc/split-blob topic.

* mk/gitweb-diff-hl (2012-04-11) 8 commits

 + gitweb: Extract print_sidebyside_diff_lines()
 + gitweb: Pass esc_html_hl_regions() options to esc_html()
 + gitweb: esc_html_hl_regions(): Don't create empty <span> elements

* hv/submodule-recurse-push (2012-03-30) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-04-20 at fe99e3d)
 + push: teach --recurse-submodules the on-demand option
 + Refactor submodule push check to use string list instead of integer
 + Teach revision walking machinery to walk multiple times sequencially

Will merge to 'master'.

* th/difftool-diffall (2012-04-23) 8 commits
 - difftool: print list of valid tools with '--tool-help'
 - difftool: teach difftool to handle directory diffs
 - difftool: eliminate setup_environment function
 - difftool: stop appending '.exe' to git
 - difftool: remove explicit change of PATH
 - difftool: exit(0) when usage is printed
 - difftool: add '--no-gui' option
 - difftool: parse options using Getopt::Long

Rolls the two-directory-diff logic from diffall script (in contrib/) into
"git difftool" framework. 

Still being reworked.

* jc/run-hook-env-1 (2012-03-11) 1 commit
 - run_hook(): enhance the interface to pass arbitrary environment

Not urgent.

Updates run_hook() API to be much less specific to "commit".  It would
only be useful if people start doing more interesting things with hooks.

* mm/push-default-switch-warning (2012-04-23) 10 commits
 - fixup! push: introduce new push.default mode "simple"
 - fixup! t5528-push-default.sh: add helper functions
 - push: suggested updates to push configuration documentation
 - push: start warning upcoming default change for push.default
 - push: document the future default change for push.default (matching -> simple)
 - t5570: use explicit push refspec
 - push: introduce new push.default mode "simple"
 - t5528-push-default.sh: add helper functions
 - Undocument deprecated alias 'push.default=tracking'
 - Documentation: explain push.default option a bit more

Introduces 'simple' mode to be used as the push.default in a future
version of git.  I think the series is almost there modulo some minor
nits.

This topic should be renamed to "mm/push-simple-method" and the last
step to start warning made into a separate topic that build on it, but
the review comments need to be addressed in a reroll before that
