People sent in fixes to bugs several topics that are new in 1.7.7-rc0 have introduced, and they are being fast tracked for 1.7.7-rc1, which probably will happen tomorrow. Thanks. -- >8 -- [New Topics] * mg/maint-notes-C-doc (2011-08-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-08-30 at 6f3281a) + git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F Will merge to "master". * jc/clean-exclude-doc (2011-08-28) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2011-08-30 at 79dd173) + Documentation: clarify "git clean -e <pattern>" Will merge to "master". * mh/check-ref-format-print-normalize (2011-08-27) 2 commits (merged to 'next' on 2011-08-30 at e827410) + Forbid DEL characters in reference names + check-ref-format --print: Normalize refnames that start with slashes Will merge to "master". * bk/ancestry-path (2011-08-25) 3 commits - revision: do not include sibling history in --ancestry-path output - revision: keep track of the end-user input from the command line - rev-list: Demonstrate breakage with --ancestry-path --all The topic came up a bit too late in the cycle.
