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.

meant to be applied to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their
names.
It already is beginning to become clear what 1.6.0 will look like. What's
already in 'next' all are well intentioned (I do not guarantee they are
already bug-free --- that is what cooking them in 'next' is for) and are
good set of feature enhancements. But bigger changes will be:
good set of feature enhancements. Bigger changes will be:
* MinGW will be in.
* /usr/bin/git-cat-file is no more. The bulk of the git commands will
move to /usr/libexec/git-core/ or somesuch.
* With the default Makefile settings, most of the programs will be
installed outside your $PATH, except for "git", "gitk", "git-gui" and
some server side programs that need to be accessible for technical
reasons. Invoking a git subcommand as "git-xyzzy" from the command
line has been deprecated since early 2006 (and officially announced in
1.5.4 release notes); use of them from your scripts after adding
output from "git --exec-path" to the $PATH will still be supported in
1.6.0, but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their
scripts to use "git xyzzy" form, as we will stop installing
"git-xyzzy" hardlinks for built-in commands in later releases.
* git-merge will be rewritten in C.
* default pack and idx versions will be updated as scheduled for some
time ago.

+ Move all dashed-form commands to libexecdir
Scheduled for 1.6.0. We'll leave server-side programs in $(bindir)
so that ssh clients can ask for "git-program" and find them on the $PATH.
Scheduled for 1.6.0. We'll leave server-side programs in $(bindir) so

Next major release after 1.6.0 would most likely remove the hardlinks to
built-in commands, but not yet.

+ A simple script to parse the results from the testcases
+ Modify test-lib.sh to output stats to t/test-results/*

+ Teach "git clone" to pack refs
+ Prepare testsuite for a "git clone" that packs refs
+ Move pack_refs() and friends into libgit
+ Incorporate fetched packs in future object traversal
This is useful when cloning from a repository with insanely large number

* jk/maint-fetch-ref-hier (Fri Jun 27 00:01:41 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ fetch: give a hint to the user when local refs fail to update
+ fetch: report local storage errors in status table
When the remote used to have "foo" branch but now has "foo/bar", fetch
refuses to delete the existing remote tracking branch "foo" to create a
new remote tracking branch "foo/bar", but the error message was
confusing.
* jc/maint-reset (Wed Jun 25 18:16:36 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ Allow "git-reset path" when unambiguous
We used to require "git-reset -- path" even when there is no ambiguity
(i.e. path cannot be mistaken as a valid tree-ish and it is a filename in
the work tree).
* js/maint-clone-insteadof (Fri Jun 27 13:55:23 2008 +0100) 2 commits
+ clone: respect the settings in $HOME/.gitconfig and /etc/gitconfig
+ clone: respect url.insteadOf setting in global configs
"git clone" did not honor "url.InsteadOf" in $HOME/.gitconfig. I think
Daniel's "Let's get rid of internal use of GIT_CONFIG" makes sense (even
though it feels very scary), and it would make the solution much simpler,
but it came late and it is already past my bedtime, so...
* tr/send-email-ssl (Thu Jun 26 23:03:21 2008 +0200) 2 commits
+ git-send-email: prevent undefined variable warnings if no
encryption is set
+ git-send-email: add support for TLS via Net::SMTP::SSL
* kb/send-email-fifo (Wed Jun 25 15:44:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
+ git-send-email: Accept fifos as well as files
Two minor send-email feature enhancements for 1.6.0.
* jc/checkdiff (Sun Jun 29 16:49:06 2008 -0400) 7 commits
+ Fix t4017-diff-retval for white-space from wc
+ Update sample pre-commit hook to use "diff --check"
+ diff --check: detect leftover conflict markers
+ Teach "diff --check" about new blank lines at end
+ checkdiff: pass diff_options to the callback
+ check_and_emit_line(): rename and refactor
+ diff --check: explain why we do not care whether old side is
binary
Allows us to replace the sample pre-commit hook that was not aware of the
line termination convention per path nor newer whitespace breakage rules.
* np/pack-default (Wed Jun 25 00:25:53 2008 -0400) 2 commits
+ pack.indexversion config option now defaults to 2
+ repack.usedeltabaseoffset config option now defaults to "true"
Updates the default value for pack.indexversion to 2 and use delta-base
offset encoding of the packfiles by default.
* js/apply-recount (Fri Jun 27 18:43:09 2008 +0100) 1 commit
+ Allow git-apply to recount the lines in a hunk (AKA recountdiff)
A good ingredient for implementing "apply --edit".
* dz/apply-again (Fri Jun 27 14:39:12 2008 -0400) 1 commit
+ git-apply: handle a patch that touches the same path more than
once better
Allows us to feed a patch that touches the same path more than once.
* jc/reflog-expire (Sat Jun 28 22:24:49 2008 -0700) 2 commits
- Make default expiration period of reflog used for stash infinite
- Per-ref reflog expiry configuration
As 1.6.0 will be a good time to make backward incompatible changes, the
tip commit makes the default expiry period of stash 'never', unless you
configure them to expire explicitly using gc.refs/stash.* variables.
Needs consensus, but I am guessing that enough people would want stash
that does not expire.
* jc/merge-theirs (Sat Jun 28 17:28:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits
+ Teach git-merge to pass -X<option> to the backend strategy module
+ git-merge-recursive-{ours,theirs}
+ git-merge-file --ours, --theirs
Punting a merge by discarding your own work in conflicting parts but still
salvaging the parts that are cleanly automerged. It is likely that this
will result in nonsense mishmash, but somehow often people want this, so
here they are. The interface to the backends is updated so that you can
say "git merge -Xours -s recursive other" now.
