Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
So far, about 60 topics, most of which have been cooking since the
previous cycle, have been graduated to the 'master' branch in
preparation for the next release, which tentatively is called 1.8.2.
Many of these early topics are bugfixes and expected to later land
in the 'maint' branch for 1.8.1.1 release as well.
As usual, this cycle is expected to last for 8 to 10 weeks, with a
preview -rc0 sometime in the middle of next month.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at

[New Topics]
* nz/send-email-headers-are-case-insensitive (2013-01-06) 1 commit
- git-send-email: treat field names as case-insensitively
When user spells "cc:" in lowercase in the fake "header" in the
trailer part, send-email failed to pick up the addresses from
there. As e-mail headers field names are case insensitive, this
script should follow suit and treat "cc:" and "Cc:" the same way.
Will merge to 'next'.
* mk/complete-tcsh (2013-01-07) 1 commit
- Prevent space after directories in tcsh completion
Update tcsh command line completion so that an unwanted space is
not added to a single directory name.

* ap/merge-stop-at-prepare-commit-msg-failure (2013-01-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 6790566)
+ merge: Honor prepare-commit-msg return code
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
"git merge" started calling prepare-commit-msg hook like "git
commit" does some time ago, but forgot to pay attention to the exit
status of the hook. t7505 may want a general clean-up but that is
a different topic.
* as/test-name-alias-uniquely (2012-12-28) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 3b11c25)
+ Use longer alias names in subdirectory tests
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02
A few short-and-bland aliases used in the tests were interfering
with git-custom command in user's $PATH.
* cc/no-gitk-build-dependency (2012-12-18) 3 commits
+ Makefile: replace "echo 1>..." with "echo >..."
+ Makefile: detect when PYTHON_PATH changes
+ Makefile: remove tracking of TCLTK_PATH
Remove leftover bits from an earlier change to move gitk in its own
subdirectory. Reimplementing the dependency tracking rules needs
to be done in gitk history separately.
* er/python-version-requirements (2012-12-28) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 4954e27)
+ Add checks to Python scripts for version dependencies.
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02
Some python scripts we ship cannot be run with old versions of the
interpreter.

* jc/apply-trailing-blank-removal (2012-10-12) 1 commit
+ apply.c:update_pre_post_images(): the preimage can be truncated
Fix to update_pre_post_images() that did not take into account the
possibility that whitespace fix could shrink the preimage and
change the number of lines in it.

* jk/enable-test-lint-by-default (2013-01-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 2a77155)
+ tests: turn on test-lint by default
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
We had two simple and quick tests to catch common mistakes when
writing test scripts, but they weren't run by default when running
tests.

(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at af6a054)
+ git-fast-import(1): remove duplicate '--done' option
The "logical order" reorganization can come after that is done and
can cook longer in 'next'.
* jk/pathspec-literal (2013-01-06) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at f0725cc)
+ t6130-pathspec-noglob: Windows does not allow a file named "f*"
Finishing touches to unbreak a test on Windows.
* jn/less-reconfigure (2013-01-02) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 04c11cb)
+ build: do not automatically reconfigure unless configure.ac changed
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-02
When autoconf is used, any build on a different commit always ran
"config.status --recheck" even when unnecessary.
* jn/warn-on-inaccessible-loosen (2012-10-14) 4 commits
+ config: exit on error accessing any config file
+ doc: advertise GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM
+ config: treat user and xdg config permission problems as errors
+ config, gitignore: failure to access with ENOTDIR is ok
Deal with a situation where .config/git is a file and we notice
.config/git/config is not readable due to ENOTDIR, not ENOENT.
* kb/maint-bundle-doc (2013-01-01) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 3d2b1ea)

+ config.txt: a few lines about branch.<name>.description
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
Teach various forms of "format-patch" command line to identify what
branch the patches are taken from, so that the branch description
is picked up in more cases.
* os/gitweb-highlight-uncaptured (2013-01-01) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-07 at 5db0558)
+ gitweb: fix error in sanitize when highlight is enabled
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
The code to sanitize control characters before passing it to
"highlight" filter lost known-to-be-safe control characters by
mistake.

* jl/submodule-deinit (2012-12-04) 1 commit
- submodule: add 'deinit' command
There was no Porcelain way to say "I no longer am interested in
this submodule", once you express your interest in a submodule with
"submodule init". "submodule deinit" is the way to do so.
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/212884
* jk/lua-hackery (2012-10-07) 6 commits
- pretty: fix up one-off format_commit_message calls
- Minimum compilation fixup
- Makefile: make "lua" a bit more configurable
- add a "lua" pretty format
- add basic lua infrastructure
- pretty: make some commit-parsing helpers more public
Interesting exercise. When we do this for real, we probably would want
to wrap a commit to make it more like an "object" with methods like
"parents", etc.
* rc/maint-complete-git-p4 (2012-09-24) 1 commit
- Teach git-completion about git p4
Comment from Pete will need to be addressed ($gmane/206172).
* jc/maint-name-rev (2012-09-17) 7 commits
- describe --contains: use "name-rev --algorithm=weight"
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: tests and documentation
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: cache the computed weight in notes
- name-rev --algorithm=weight: trivial optimization
- name-rev: --algorithm option
- name_rev: clarify the logic to assign a new tip-name to a commit
- name-rev: lose unnecessary typedef
"git name-rev" names the given revision based on a ref that can be
reached in the smallest number of steps from the rev, but that is
not useful when the caller wants to know which tag is the oldest one
that contains the rev. This teaches a new mode to the command that
uses the oldest ref among those which contain the rev.
I am not sure if this is worth it; for one thing, even with the help
from notes-cache, it seems to make the "describe --contains" even
slower. Also the command will be unusably slow for a user who does
not have a write access (hence unable to create or update the
notes-cache).
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* jc/xprm-generation (2012-09-14) 1 commit
- test-generation: compute generation numbers and clock skews
A toy to analyze how bad the clock skews are in histories of real
world projects.
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* jc/add-delete-default (2012-08-13) 1 commit
- git add: notice removal of tracked paths by default
"git add dir/" updated modified files and added new files, but does
not notice removed files, which may be "Huh?" to some users. They
can of course use "git add -A dir/", but why should they?
Resurrected from graveyard, as I thought it was a worthwhile thing
to do in the longer term.
Stalled mostly due to lack of responses.
* mb/remote-default-nn-origin (2012-07-11) 6 commits
- Teach get_default_remote to respect remote.default.
- Test that plain "git fetch" uses remote.default when on a detached HEAD.
- Teach clone to set remote.default.
- Teach "git remote" about remote.default.
- Teach remote.c about the remote.default configuration setting.
- Rename remote.c's default_remote_name static variables.
When the user does not specify what remote to interact with, we
often attempt to use 'origin'. This can now be customized via a
configuration variable.
Expecting a reroll.

"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a

Move the bits to set fallback default based on the platform from
the main Makefile to a separate file, so that it can be included in
Makefiles in subdirectories.
Will merge to 'master'.

Uses the parsed pathspec structure in more places where we used to
use the raw "array of strings" pathspec.
Unfortunately, this conflicts a couple of topics in flight. I tried
to be careful while resolving conflicts, though.

Will merge to 'next'.
* fc/remote-testgit-feature-done (2012-10-29) 1 commit
- remote-testgit: properly check for errors
In the longer term, tightening rules is a good thing to do, and
because nobody who has worked in the remote helper area seems to be
interested in reviewing this, I would assume they do not think
such a retroactive tightening will affect their remote helpers. So
let's advance this topic to see what happens.
Will merge to 'next'.

+ Makefile: add USE_WILDMATCH to use wildmatch as fnmatch
+ wildmatch: advance faster in <asterisk> + <literal> patterns
+ wildmatch: make a special case for "*/" with FNM_PATHNAME
+ test-wildmatch: add "perf" command to compare wildmatch and fnmatch
+ wildmatch: support "no FNM_PATHNAME" mode
+ wildmatch: make dowild() take arbitrary flags
+ wildmatch: rename constants and update prototype
(this branch uses nd/wildmatch.)
Originally merged to 'next' on 2013-01-04
Replace our use of fnmatch(3) with a more feature-rich wildmatch.
A handful patches at the bottom have been moved to nd/wildmatch to
graduate as part of that branch, before this series solidifies.
Will cook in 'next' a bit longer than other topics.

* zk/clean-report-failure (2013-01-06) 1 commit
- git-clean: Display more accurate delete messages
"git clean" states what it is going to remove and then goes on to
remove it, but sometimes it only discovers things that cannot be
removed after recursing into a directory, which makes the output
confusing and even wrong.
Expecting a response to $gmane/212860.
* mp/complete-paths (2012-12-21) 1 commit
- git-completion.bash: add support for path completion
The completion script used to let the default completer to suggest
pathnames, which gave too many irrelevant choices (e.g. "git add"
would not want to add an unmodified path). Teach it to use a more
git-aware logic to enumerate only relevant ones.
It has been reported (no surprise) that this does not work inside
subdirectory, and fixing it seems to be non-trivial. $gmane/212642
Waiting for area-experts' help.

- t4014: more tests about appending s-o-b lines
- sequencer.c: teach append_signoff to avoid adding a duplicate newline
- sequencer.c: teach append_signoff how to detect duplicate s-o-b

- sequencer.c: remove broken support for rfc2822 continuation in footer
Expecting a reroll.
