Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'.

The main part of this cycle is expected to run thru May, aiming for a
feature freeze in early June.

We are in the middle of week #4 of this cycle.

(I forgot to send this out last night).

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

* hg/add-i-qq (2011-05-17) 1 commit
 - add-interactive: add 'Quit' shortcut to add hunk and quit

The question "why is y+q any more deserving for a short-cut than d+q" was
raised late in the discussion, and I think it a very valid concern.

May drop.

* js/log-abbrev-commit-config (2011-05-18) 2 commits
 - Add log.abbrevCommit config variable
 - "git log -h": typofix misspelled 'suppress'

* js/mingw-shutdown (2011-05-18) 1 commit
 - Windows: add a wrapper for the shutdown() system call

Meant for maint-1.7.4 and later.

* mg/config-symbolic-constants (2011-05-17) 2 commits
 - config: Give error message when not changing a multivar
 - config: define and document exit codes

* ms/ls-remote-exit-with-status (2011-05-18) 1 commit
 - ls-remote: the --exit-code option reports "no matching refs"

* rg/copy-gecos-username (2011-05-17) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-05-17 at 6080944)
 + copy_gecos: fix not adding nlen to len when processing "&"

* tr/add-i-no-escape (2011-05-17) 1 commit
 - add -i: ignore terminal escape sequences

Will merge to "next".

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

* mg/diff-stat-count (2011-05-03) 2 commits
 - diff-options.txt: describe --stat-{width,name-width,count}
 - diff: introduce --stat-count to limit the stat lines

There was a miscounting spotted.  Need another round.

* jn/gitweb-js (2011-04-28) 13 commits
 - gitweb: Make JavaScript ability to adjust timezones configurable
 - gitweb.js: Add UI for selecting common timezone to display dates
 - gitweb: JavaScript ability to adjust time based on timezone
 - gitweb: Unify the way long timestamp is displayed
 - gitweb: Refactor generating of long dates into format_timestamp_html
 - gitweb.js: Provide getElementsByClassName method (if it not exists)
 - gitweb.js: Introduce code to handle cookies from JavaScript
 - gitweb.js: Extract and improve datetime handling
 - gitweb.js: Provide default values for padding in padLeftStr and padLeft
 - gitweb.js: Update and improve comments in JavaScript files
 - gitweb: Split JavaScript for maintability, combining on build
 - Remove gitweb/gitweb.cgi and other legacy targets from main Makefile
 - git-instaweb: Simplify build dependency on gitweb

Rerolled.  Waiting for comments.

* jn/ctags-more (2011-04-29) 3 commits
 - gitweb: Optional grouping of projects by category
 - gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic
 - gitweb: Split git_project_list_body in two functions

Waiting for comments.

* jc/require-work-tree-exists (2011-05-08) 1 commit
 - require-work-tree wants more than what its name says

Make "git pull" run from a random place work as long as GIT_DIR and
GIT_WORK_TREE are set up correctly.  I am not absolutely sure if that
is a sane use case, though. May drop.

* jc/add-delete-default (2011-04-27) 1 commit
 - git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default

* jk/maint-merge-rename-create (2011-03-25) 3 commits
 - merge: turn on rewrite detection
 - merge: handle renames with replacement content
 - t3030: fix accidental success in symlink rename

Peff wanted to reroll this.

* jc/index-pack (2011-02-27) 5 commits
 - index-pack --verify: read anomalous offsets from v2 idx file
 - write_idx_file: need_large_offset() helper function
 - index-pack: --verify
 - write_idx_file: introduce a struct to hold idx customization options
 - index-pack: group the delta-base array entries also by type

Still a WIP. Need to put histogram output into index-pack --verify to
really kill verify-pack.

* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory (2011-05-04) 1 commit
 - specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set

Updated documentation, but I do not feel a strong enough annoyance to push
this forward. May drop.

* jk/tag-contains (2010-07-05) 4 commits
 - Why is "git tag --contains" so slow?
 - default core.clockskew variable to one day
 - limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp
 - tag: speed up --contains calculation

The idea of the bottom one is probably Ok, except that the use of object
flags needs to be rethought, or at least the helper needs to be moved to
builtin/tag.c to make it clear that it should not be used outside the
current usage context.

* jc/advice-about-to-lose-commit (2011-05-06) 1 commit
 - checkout: honor advice.detachedHead when reattaching to a branch

Needs to tighten the advice to only govern the generic How-to part.

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

* jh/receive-count-limit (2011-05-14) 1 commit
 - receive-pack: Add receive.objectCountLimit to refuse push with too many objects

Re-rolled but decided not to pick it up while it is still being
discussed.

* jk/cherry-pick-root-with-resolve (2011-05-16) 3 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-05-16 at 2a63845)
 + t3503: test cherry picking and reverting root commits
 + revert: allow reverting a root commit
 + cherry-pick: handle root commits with external strategies
