Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
still holding onto them.
There are a few leftover bits in 'next' that need to be merged to 'master'
before we declare a real -rc cycle, so tonight's pushout is -rc0.

[Graduated to "master"]
* ab/compat-regex (2010-08-26) 9 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-08-26 at c5cc9d2)
+ Fix compat/regex ANSIfication on MinGW
(merged to 'next' on 2010-08-22 at 40bce7c)

(merged to 'next' on 2010-08-21 at 632d60f)

This may need a yet another fix-up for MinGW.

* jj/icase-directory (2010-08-16) 6 commits

+ Case insensitivity support for .gitignore via core.ignorecase
+ Add string comparison functions that respect the ignore_case variable.
Depends on GNU FNM_CASEFOLD. Presumably a bit of tweak in Makefile for
non-windows but non-GNU platforms is all it takes?
* by/line-log (2010-08-11) 17 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-08-26 at a160ff1)
+ Document line history browser

There is a reported crash with valgrind trace. Bo seems to be looking
into it.
* il/rfc-remote-fd-ext (2010-08-26) 7 commits
- remote-ext/fd style fixup
- Fix build on Windows
- Simplify send_git_request()
- Rewrite bidirectional traffic loop
- gitignore: Ignore the new /git-remote-{ext,fd} helpers
- New remote helper: git-remote-ext
- New remote helper git-remote-fd
Needs a bit of usage illustration (this does not seem to come with any
documentation nor tests).
* zl/mailinfo-recode-patch (2010-06-14) 2 commits
- add --recode-patch option to git-am
- add --recode-patch option to git-mailinfo
I recall there was another round of re-roll planned for this one.
* jk/tag-contains (2010-07-05) 4 commits
- Why is "git tag --contains" so slow?
- default core.clockskew variable to one day
- limit "contains" traversals based on commit timestamp
- tag: speed up --contains calculation
The idea of the bottom one is probably Ok, except that the use of object
flags needs to be rethought, or at least the helper needs to be moved to
builtin/tag.c to make it clear that it should not be used outside the
current usage context.

* ch/filter-branch-deprecate-remap-to-ancestor (2010-08-27) 1 commit
- filter-branch: retire --remap-to-ancestor

* rr/format-patch-count-without-merges (2010-08-28) 2 commits

* as/daemon-multi-listen (2010-08-29) 2 commits
- daemon: allow more than one host address given via --listen
- daemon: add helper function setup_named_sock()
I think the idea is sound. It came a bit late in the cycle for the next
release and probably needs a bit more polish.
* jc/pickaxe-grep (2010-08-31) 4 commits
- diff/log -G<pattern>: tests
- git log/diff: add -G<regexp> that greps in the patch text
- diff: pass the entire diff-options to diffcore_pickaxe()
- gitdiffcore doc: update pickaxe description
This is a re-roll of "grepping inside the log -p output" which is a
feature that is often asked for when people hear about -S option.
* jh/error-removing-missing-note (2010-08-31) 1 commit

* jl/fetch-submodule-recursive (2010-08-30) 2 commits
- Submodules: Add the new "fetch" config option for fetch and pull
- fetch/pull: Recursively fetch populated submodules
I think the idea is sound and hopefully the end result will help the heavy
users of subprojects. It came a bit late in the cycle for the next
release, though.
* kf/askpass-config (2010-08-30) 3 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2010-09-04 at c49783f)

- merge-recursive: options to ignore whitespace changes

- merge: Make 'merge.log' an integer or boolean option
- merge: Make '--log' an integer option for number of shortlog entries

- diff_tree(): Skip skip_uninteresting() when all remaining paths interesting
- tree_entry_interesting(): Make return value more specific
- tree-walk: Correct bitrotted comment about tree_entry()
- Document pre-condition for tree_entry_interesting
I think the idea is sound. For a patch that touches fairly core part of
the system, it came a bit late in the cycle, though.
* cb/ignored-paths-are-precious (2010-08-21) 1 commit
- checkout/merge: optionally fail operation when ignored files need to be overwritten
I fixed up a trivial error in the configuration parser (which didn't
return immediately after parsing), and while at it flipped the default
value of the configuration and the command line option to false.
This probably needs tests; also we know of longstanding bugs in related
area that needs to be addressed---they do not have to be part of this
series but their reproduction recipe would belong to the test script for
this topic.
It may hurt users to make the new feature on by default, especially the
ones with subdirectories that come and go. For a patch that changes a
long established semantics, it came a bit late in the cycle, so it will
have to wait until the next release.
* po/etc-gitattributes (2010-09-01) 1 commit
- Add global and system-wide gitattributes
I think the idea is sound. For a patch that touches fairly core part of
the system, it came a bit late in the cycle, though.

+ shell: Rewrite documentation and improve error message
+ Add sample commands for git-shell
+ Add interactive mode to git-shell for user-friendliness
+ Allow creation of arbitrary git-shell commands
I am not very happy about adding these backdoors to git-shell, which is
primarily a security mechanism, and obviously security and backdoor do not
mix well.

- po/pl.po: add Polish translation
- po/is.po: add Icelandic translation

- gettext.c: work around us not using setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "")
- gettext: localize the main git-init message
- gettext: make the simple parts of git-init localizable
- builtin.h: Include gettext.h
- Makefile: use variables and shorter lines for xgettext
- Makefile: tell xgettext(1) that our source is in UTF-8
- Makefile: provide a --msgid-bugs-address to xgettext(1)
- Makefile: A variable for options used by xgettext(1) calls
- tests: locate i18n lib&data correctly under --valgrind
- gettext: setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") breaks Git's C function assumptions
- Add infrastructure for translating Git with gettext
Kicked back to 'pu' to give it a bit more time to experiment with a
Porcelain command or a two, and an opportunity for a fresh restart if
necessary in the next cycle.
