in the same branch) for today's updates to highlight the updated parts.

+What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2010, #03; Sun, 10)
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
 only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.  The ones
 marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
 still holding onto them.

-The tip of 'next' has been rebuilt on top of the current 'master'.

Fwiw, I find it harder to read due to the now ambiguous meaning of the
+ and - (it could either mean something is in pu/next, or that the
topic changed). Of course this is partly caused by the fact that I
don't read emails in fixed font (by default), but perhaps it's worth
considering using different symbols for pu/next-ness?

I agree. Plus line-by-line is not necessarily the most efficient way to
convey the information that a single character changed. If the subject
of the commit didn't change, it would be easier to see soemething like:

  ->+ Makefile: consolidate .FORCE-* targets
  ->+ Makefile: learn to generate listings for targets requiring special flags

etc (where ">" is supposed to indicate transition, but it's actually
quite ugly itself).

That being said, I don't personally see the incremental format as all
that useful. If I want to see increments of what's happening, I use git
itself.  The "What's Cooking" message to me is about seeing a survey of
all topics, even those that haven't changed, with Junio's comments. So
you may take my suggestions with a large grain of salt. :)
