Executive Summary
=================
The 'maint' branch still has a handful more post v1.4.4.1
fixes.
Aside from the usual gitweb and git-svn updates, the 'master'
branch has one notable change that everybody should hopefully
welcome. separate-remote layout is now the default for newly
cloned repositories. We would be needing documentation updates
and probably some more minor fixes for fallout from this, but I
do not expect anything majorly broken.
Cooking in 'next' are handful topics:
* "git shortlog bottom..top" can be used instead of a pipeline
"git log bottom..top | git shortlog".
* "git merge -m message <commit>" is another natural way to
perform a local merge, in addition to the traditional
"git pull . <localbranch>". The former is more powerful in
that it can take arbitrary <committish>, not just a ref.
* The new "--depth $n" parameter to git clone/fetch tries to
limit the commit ancestry depth to $n. This still has known
issues (for example, shallowly cloning the git.git repository
and then deepening the result with large --depth parameter
later does not seem to make the resulting repository fully
connected, and fsck-objects reports corruption), so please
handle it with care.
* "git show-ref", especially the "-d" variant, is much more
efficient when used in a repository with pack-pruned refs.
* "git fetch" can fetch from a repository with pack-pruned refs
over dumb protocol transports.
* "git push $URL '':$ref" can be used to delete an existing ref
from the remote side.
* A glob pattern "Pull: refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" is
allowed in the remotes file. The fetch can be forced by
prefixing the specification with a '+'.
Currently 'pu' does not have much to speak of.
This update has rather large impact so the kernel list is CC'ed.
