6 What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2011, #09; Tue, 27)
7 --------------------------------------------------
9 Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10 only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in
13 By now I know a bit better than taking the lack of serious regression
14 reports during the holiday weekend as a sign of perfection of the upcoming
15 release, but I will tag -rc0 soonish anyway. As far as I can see the tip
16 of 'master' is feature complete for 1.7.9, modulo possible bugs and
19 Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
21 With maint, master, next, pu, todo:

24 git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
25 https://code.google.com/p/git-core/

124 Waiting for a reroll.
126 * mh/ref-api-rest (2011-12-12) 35 commits

168 * jc/split-blob (2011-12-01) 6 commits
169 . WIP (streaming chunked)
170 - chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
171 - bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
172 - bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
173 - new representation types in the packstream
174 - varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding
178 At least pack-objects and fsck need to learn the new encoding for the
179 series to be usable locally, and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to
180 learn it to be used remotely.
182 * jc/advise-i18n (2011-12-22) 1 commit
183 - i18n of multi-line advice messages
185 Allow localization of advice messages that tend to be longer and
186 multi-line formatted. For now this is deliberately limited to advise()
187 interface and not vreportf() in general as touching the latter has
188 interactions with error() that has plumbing callers whose prefix "error: "
189 should never be translated.

210 * jc/signed-commit (2011-11-29) 5 commits
211 (merged to 'next' on 2011-12-21 at 8fcbf00)
212 + gpg-interface: allow use of a custom GPG binary
213 + pretty: %G[?GS] placeholders
214 + test "commit -S" and "log --show-signature"
215 + log: --show-signature
216 + commit: teach --gpg-sign option
218 I am ambivalent on this one. I do not desperately need it myself, I know
219 the kernel folks do not, I heard some other people might.
