Here is a quick summary of what I have in the "talked about, sounded interesting, and never got completed" list. gmane=http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/ * Teach pack protocol to transfer estimated pack size and history depth to allow receiving end make more intelligent decision between unpack-objects and index-pack. $gmane/173610 * The "combined" diff always assumes it deals with text files. Teach it to punt on binary and also use the textconv. $gname/171613 * Audit use of symbolic-ref without -m in our scripts and for each case decide if leaving a reflog entry for the HEAD is desirable. If so, add them. $gmane/172516 * "git status" on intent-to-add index entries (say "I" in the first column instead of "A" for short status, add "(needs 'git add')" at the end of "new file: $path " in long status). $gmane/170658 * synopsys: use {} instead of () for grouping alternatives (Jari Aalto) $gmane/72243 * "[alias] st = status" and "cd .git && git st" (Jeff King) $gmane/72327 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
