30 I am punting on unpack-trees related D/F issues for 1.5.3. We
31 might end up rewriting read-tree after the release.
33 * Pushing into a non-bare repository more gracefully.
35 When git-push is done to a non-bare repository and updates the
36 branch that is currently checked out, we currently do not do

47 Repeated requests against git-daemon makes it stuck under --syslog
49 [jc: does not reproduce easily for me; has anybody seen it?]
51 * Use gitattributes for more things.
53 - 'precious' files that are not tracked but not
54 build-products. Currently people seem to put them in
55 .gitignore, but that is not quite right, as .gitignore is
56 meant for ignoring things that can be lost (build products,
57 editor backup files). "git clean -x" and "git checkout" to
58 another branch that has a file where the current branch has a
59 directory could lose such 'precious' files.
67 * Subproject Porcelain.

88 other things I think are needed in my response:

96 * perhaps add 'tree' entries to the index.

101 * "pure" clones, that does not know about where it was cloned
102 from. Specifically, no [remote "origin"] in .git/config, nor
105 From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
106 Message-ID: <7vr6pac86g.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
108 * upload-pack support to start fetching from any valid point on
109 the history, not just published refs. (Erik W. Biederman
110 <m164jc9ekx.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com>)
112 * daemon --strict-symlink.
114 * "git fetch" should be able to use foreign SCM import backends
115 such as svnimport and cvsimport.
117 * "git clone" should be a thin wrapper around init/remote/fetch/checkout

122 * Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in mailinfo as well.
128 * Give --stdin to git-log, similar to git-rev-list

133 [jc: but why is it needed? shouldn't we be using rev-list plumbing,
134 and if not perhaps rev-list needs to learn something log knows
137 * Update the lockfile protocol so that closing and renaming are
138 done inside lockfile commit time. Some filesystems do not
139 like an open file renamed and then closed. Come up with a
140 patch and pass Alex for an Ack.
142 * Mbx (not mbox) support for git-mailsplit.
144 * git-clone fail .git/refs/foo (Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org>)
145 <20060610225040.GA7766@nowhere.earth>
147 * git-proxy should be spawned with sh -c 'command' $1 $2.
149 [jc: should it? -- deciding if it should may not be "trivial",
150 but if it turns out to be the right thing to do, the change
153 * Maybe a true git-proxy command that reads the first request
154 pkt-line, and redirects the request to its real destination.
156 * test scripts for the relative directory path stuff.
