Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with '+' are in
'next'.
As promised in the recent couple of issues of "What's cooking", the first
batch of topics that have been cooking in 'next' are now in 'master'. The
tip of 'next' hasn't been rewound yet, but it soon will after the second
batch of topics graduate.
Here are the repositories that have my integration branches:
With maint, master, next, pu, todo:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git
git://repo.or.cz/alt-git.git
https://code.google.com/p/git-core/

With only maint and master:

* jc/advise-push-default (2011-12-18) 1 commit
- push: hint to use push.default=upstream when appropriate
Peff had a good suggestion outlining an updated code structure so that
somebody new can try to dip his or her toes in the development. Any
takers?
Waiting for a reroll.
* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal (2012-01-04) 3 commits
- fixup! 15eaaf4
- git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-05 at 954f125)
+ perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS
The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments from
Ævar. The second one needs more work, both in perl/Git.pm and prompt.c, to
give precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal is available.
Will defer till the next cycle.
* nd/commit-ignore-i-t-a (2012-01-16) 2 commits
- commit, write-tree: allow to ignore CE_INTENT_TO_ADD while writing trees
- cache-tree: update API to take abitrary flags
May want to consider this as fixing an earlier UI mistake, and not as a
feature that devides the userbase.

* jc/split-blob (2012-01-24) 6 commits
- chunked-object: streaming checkout
- chunked-object: fallback checkout codepaths
- bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding
- bulk-checkin: allow the same data to be multiply hashed
- new representation types in the packstream
- varint-in-pack: refactor varint encoding/decoding
Not ready.
I finished the streaming checkout codepath, but as explained in 127b177
(bulk-checkin: support chunked-object encoding, 2011-11-30), these are
still early steps of a long and painful journey. At least pack-objects and
fsck need to learn the new encoding for the series to be usable locally,
and then index-pack/unpack-objects needs to learn it to be used remotely.
Given that I heard a lot of noise that people want large files, and that I
was asked by somebody at GitTogether'11 privately for an advice on how to
pay developers (not me) to help adding necessary support, I am somewhat
dissapointed that the original patch series that was sent almost two
months ago still remains here without much comments and updates from the
developer community. I even made the interface to the logic that decides
where to split chunks easily replaceable, and I deliberately made the
logic in the original patch extremely stupid to entice others, especially
the "bup" fanboys, to come up with a better logic, thinking that giving
people an easy target to shoot for, they may be encouraged to help
out. The plan is not working :-(.

(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at f927323)
+ mergetool: Provide an empty file when needed
Caters to GUI merge backends that cannot merge two files without
a base by giving them an empty file as a "pretend" common ancestor.

(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at e2e0c1d)

t/Makefile is adjusted to prevent newer versions of GNU make from running

* tr/grep-l-with-decoration (2012-01-23) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at 42b8795)
+ grep: fix -l/-L interaction with decoration lines
Using "git grep -l/-L" together with options -W or --break may not make
much sense as the output is to only count the number of hits and there is
no place for file breaks, but the latter options made "-l/-L" to miscount
the hits.
Will merge to 'master' in the second batch.
* jc/pull-signed-tag (2012-01-23) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at 4257553)
+ merge: use editor by default in interactive sessions
Per Linus's strong suggestion, sugarcoated (aka "taking blame for the
original UI screw-ups") so that it is easier for me to swallow and accept
a potentially huge backward incompatibility issue, "git merge" is made to
launch an editor to explain the merge in the merge commit by default in
interactive sessions.
I've updated the special-case environment variable to MERGE_AUTOEDIT that
scripts can set to "no" when they start. There is no plan to encourage
humans to keep using the historical behaviour, hence there is no support
for configuration variable (e.g. merge.autoedit) that can be set to 'no'.
Oh, also I updated the documentation a bit.
"git merge" in an interactive session learned to spawn the editor by
default to let the user edit the auto-generated merge message, to
encourage people to explain their merges better.
Will merge to 'master' in the second batch and deal with any fallout in 'master'.
* jc/advise-i18n (2011-12-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at 6447013)
+ i18n of multi-line advice messages
Allow localization of advice messages that tend to be longer and
multi-line formatted. For now this is deliberately limited to advise()
interface and not vreportf() in general as touching the latter has
interactions with error() that has plumbing callers whose prefix "error: "
should never be translated.
Will merge to 'master' in the second batch.
* rr/sequencer (2012-01-11) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at f349b56)
+ sequencer: factor code out of revert builtin
+ revert: prepare to move replay_action to header
Moving large chunk of code out of cherry-pick/revert for later reuse,
primarily to prepare for the next cycle.
Will merge to 'master' in the second batch.
* nd/clone-detached (2012-01-24) 12 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-26 at 7b0cc8a)
+ clone: fix up delay cloning conditions
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at bee31c6)
+ push: do not let configured foreign-vcs permanently clobbered
(merged to 'next' on 2012-01-23 at 9cab64e)
+ clone: print advice on checking out detached HEAD
+ clone: allow --branch to take a tag
+ clone: refuse to clone if --branch points to bogus ref
+ clone: --branch=<branch> always means refs/heads/<branch>
+ clone: delay cloning until after remote HEAD checking
+ clone: factor out remote ref writing
+ clone: factor out HEAD update code
+ clone: factor out checkout code
+ clone: write detached HEAD in bare repositories
+ t5601: add missing && cascade
"git clone" learned to detach the HEAD in the resulting repository when
the source repository's HEAD does not point to a branch.
Will merge to 'master' in the second batch and deal with any fallout in 'master'.
