Updates to the previous "remaining issues" list before 1.5.0. * Bare repository. I think what I have in 'next' to add 'core.bare' configuration to make the bare repository detection safer is ready to be used to port the RFC patch from Shawn to forbid working-tree operations in a bare repository to prevent accidents from happening. It would be nice if we can cook it for a few days in 'next' and push it out to 'master' before v1.5.0-rc1. Volunteers? * Packed refs. 'git-pack-refs' should default to --prune. There is no point not to, really. Objections? We _might_ want to teach 'git-pack-refs' how to unpack, although there is no real need for it. I do not care too deeply either way. * Detached HEAD. This is now in 'master' ;-). * Make -u default to 'git-am'. Since we are talking about allowing potentially incompatible UI changes in v1.5.0 iff the change improves the general situation, I would say why not. I'd add --no-utf8 just in case, but personally I do not offhand see need for it. Projects that want their commit log messages in legacy encoding can and should say "i18n.commitencoding = EUCJP" or somesuch and they can continue using their preferred encodings without changing their tools nor work habit and without having to worry about re-coding errors. - 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
