Commits prefixed +with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are +in 'next'. + +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. + +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: + + * MinGW will be in. + + * /usr/bin/git-cat-file is no more.
