+What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #01; Tue, 05)
+--------------------------------------------------
+
+Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
+in 'next'.
+
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order.  The topics
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
+
+Due to increased activity level from people including GSoC students, I
+expect 'next' to stay somewhat more active than previous rounds during the
+1.6.0-rc cycle.  The request for people who usually follow 'next' is the
+same as usual, though.  After -rc1 is tagged, please run 'master' for your
+daily git use instead, in order to make sure 'master' does what it claims
+to do without regression.
+
+Tentative schedule, my wishful thinking:
+
+ - 1.6.0-rc2 (Aug  6)
+ - 1.6.0-rc3 (Aug 10)
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[New Topics]
+
+* jc/post-simplify (Sun Aug 3 17:47:16 2008 -0700) 3 commits
+ + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
+ + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
+ + revision.c: whitespace fix
+
+"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
+than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
+
+* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
+   smart HTTP transport
+ - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
+
+The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
+top one queued is from before that discussion.
+
+* jc/add-stop-at-symlink (Mon Aug 4 00:52:37 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ - add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+ - update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
+
+The performance impact of this needs to be discussed in a separate
+thread.
+
+* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
+ + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
+ + add --path option to git hash-object
+ + use parse_options() in git hash-object
+ + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
+ + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
+ + teach index_fd to work with pipes
+
+Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
+the path the contents comes from.
+
+* jn/svn-log (Sun Aug 3 14:07:21 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ - git-svn: --clean-changelog=<style> to sanitize messages
+
+Eric firmly rejected this one so I won't be merging this to 'next' but
+this was an interesting firestarter for discussion nevertheless.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------
+[On Hold and/or Cooking]
+
+* rs/archive-parse-options (Fri Jul 25 12:41:26 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + archive: allow --exec and --remote without equal sign
+
+None of the following is for 1.6.0.
+
+* mv/merge-custom (Sat Aug 2 10:08:38 2008 +0200) 6 commits
+ + Builtin git-help.
+ + builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help()
+ + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
+ + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
+ + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy
+ + builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other
+   builtins
+
+* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
+ - git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
+   stepwise merge
+ + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
+ + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than
+   2 args
+ + merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying
+   merge_bases_many()
+
+* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
+ + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
+ + imap-send.c: more style fixes
+ + imap-send.c: style fixes
+ + git-imap-send: Support SSL
+ + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
+   a git tree
+
+Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
+Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
+so inclined.
+
+* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
+ - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
+
+The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
+seem to.  It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
+an optimization only.
+
+* jc/add-addremove (Tue Jul 22 22:30:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + builtin-add.c: optimize -A option and "git add ."
+ + builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
+
+* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ + spawn pager via run_command interface
+ + run-command: add pre-exec callback
+
+This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
+process.  We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
+status from git is lost from the caller.
+
+* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.
+
+* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
+ + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
+   variables
+
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet.  Perhaps
+in 1.7.0.
+
+* jc/dashless (Thu Jun 26 16:43:34 2008 -0700) 2 commits
+ + Revert "Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local
+   transport"
+ + Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
+
+This is the "botched" one.  Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
+timeframe.
+
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ . diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
+   asked for
+
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
+hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.

+What's in git.git (Aug 2008, #01; Tue, 05)
+
+  maint 2d0f5f3 (RelNotes 1.5.6.5 updates, 2008-08-05)
+ master ddd63e6 (Optimize sha1_object_info for loose objects, not concurrent repacks, 2008-08-05)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+Thanks to many people, we have accumulated quite a few fixes that are
+appropriate for 1.6.0 stabilization effort but at the same time apply
+equally well to 1.5.6 series.  We might want to do 1.5.6.5 to flush them
+while we are at it.

+I am planning to tag 1.6.0-rc2 tomorrow evening.  I noticed that both gitk
+and git-gui have fixes and many updated translations that I intend to
+pull before tagging -rc2.
