What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2010, #02 draft; Wed, 06)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I am experimenting with ideas to better manage the periodic "What's
cooking" messages, and here is one of such attempt based on the current
draft of the upcoming "2010 Jan, issue #02".

This is an incremental update (the full version will follow shortly) that
shows the changes since the previous issue, and was generated with a
custom diff driver.  One of the things to notice is that the ones that
only moved across sections (e.g. bg/maint-remote-update-default) without
any other changes are shown without the list of commits.
