Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
The tip of the 'master' is a bit past 1.8.2-rc1. I am hoping to do
an -rc2 by the end of this week.
You can find the changes described here in the integration branches of the
repositories listed at
http://git-blame.blogspot.com/p/git-public-repositories.html

(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-21 at 811e0c0)

(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 7c0079a)
+ Git.pm: fix cat_blob crashes on large files
perl/Git.pm::cat_blob slurped everything in core only to write it
out to a file descriptor, which was not a very smart thing to do.

+ diff: prevent pprint_rename from underrunning input
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at c9bd6d3)
+ diff: Fix rename pretty-print when suffix and prefix overlap
The logic used by "git diff -M --stat" to shorten the names of
files before and after a rename did not work correctly when the
common prefix and suffix between the two filenames overlapped.
Will cook in 'next'.

(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 1d0289f)

nonsense command line parameters.
Will cook in 'next'.

(this branch is used by gp/forbid-describe-all-match.)
Will cook in 'next'.
* gp/forbid-describe-all-match (2013-02-24) 1 commit
- describe: make --all and --match=PATTERN mutually incompatible
(this branch uses gp/describe-match-uses-glob-pattern.)
Not sure if we should forbid the combination or explain the
semantics better, perhaps by giving a better synonym to "--all",
which meant "disable the usual limit that only gives the annotated
tags".
* jk/common-make-variables-export-safety (2013-02-25) 1 commit
- Makefile: make mandir, htmldir and infodir absolute
Make the three variables safer to be exported to submakes by
ensuring that they are full paths so that they can be used as
installation location.

Still under discussion.
Not ready for inclusion.

A few workarounds for systems with unsigned time_t.

* mb/gitweb-highlight-link-target (2012-12-20) 1 commit
- Highlight the link target line in Gitweb using CSS
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/211935
* 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.
There seems to be some interest. Let's see if it results in a solid
execution of a sensible transition plan towards Git 2.0.
* 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.
$gmane/210151
"The first remote becomes the default" bit is better done as a
separate step.

* jk/pkt-line-cleanup (2013-02-24) 19 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at d83e970)

+ pkt-line: provide a generic reading function with options
+ pkt-line: drop safe_write function
+ pkt-line: move a misplaced comment
+ write_or_die: raise SIGPIPE when we get EPIPE
+ upload-archive: use argv_array to store client arguments
+ upload-archive: do not copy repo name
+ send-pack: prefer prefixcmp over memcmp in receive_status
+ fetch-pack: fix out-of-bounds buffer offset in get_ack
+ upload-pack: remove packet debugging harness
+ upload-pack: do not add duplicate objects to shallow list
+ upload-pack: use get_sha1_hex to parse "shallow" lines
Cleans up pkt-line API, implementation and its callers to make
them more robust.

* ob/imap-send-ssl-verify (2013-02-20) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at e897609)
+ imap-send: support Server Name Indication (RFC4366)
Correctly connect to SSL/TLS sites that serve multiple hostnames on
a single IP by including Server Name Indication in the client-hello.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jc/format-patch (2013-02-21) 2 commits
- format-patch: --inline-single
- format-patch: rename "no_inline" field
A new option to send a single patch to the standard output to be
appended at the bottom of a message. I personally have no need for
this, but it was easy enough to cobble together. Tests, docs and
stripping out more MIMEy stuff are left as exercises to interested
parties.
Not ready for inclusion.
* mh/maint-ceil-absolute (2013-02-22) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at ba83c45)
+ Provide a mechanism to turn off symlink resolution in ceiling paths
An earlier workaround designed to help people who list logical
directories that will not match what getcwd(3) returns in the
GIT_CEILING_DIRECTORIES had an adverse effect when it is slow to
stat and readlink a directory component of an element listed on it.
Will fast-track to 'master' (regression fix).
* tk/doc-filter-branch (2013-02-26) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at bd4638b)

* bc/commit-complete-lines-given-via-m-option (2013-02-19) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-19 at cf622b7)
+ Documentation/git-commit.txt: rework the --cleanup section
+ git-commit: only append a newline to -m mesg if necessary
+ t7502: demonstrate breakage with a commit message with trailing newlines
+ t/t7502: compare entire commit message with what was expected
'git commit -m "$str"' when $str was already terminated with a LF
now avoids adding an extra LF to the message.
Will cook in 'next'.
* da/difftool-fixes (2013-02-21) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-25 at 687db1f)
+ t7800: "defaults" is no longer a builtin tool name
+ t7800: modernize tests
+ t7800: update copyright notice
+ difftool: silence uninitialized variable warning
Minor maintenance updates to difftool, and updates to its tests.
Will cook in 'next'.
* nd/read-directory-recursive-optim (2013-02-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-17 at 36ba9f4)
+ read_directory: avoid invoking exclude machinery on tracked files
"git status" has been optimized by taking advantage of the fact
that paths that are already known to the index do not have to be
checked against the .gitignore mechanism under some conditions.
Will cook in 'next'.
* mg/gpg-interface-using-status (2013-02-14) 5 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-26 at 93f0e72)
+ pretty: make %GK output the signing key for signed commits
+ pretty: parse the gpg status lines rather than the output
+ gpg_interface: allow to request status return
+ log-tree: rely upon the check in the gpg_interface
+ gpg-interface: check good signature in a reliable way
Call "gpg" using the right API when validating the signature on
tags.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jn/shell-disable-interactive (2013-02-11) 2 commits
- shell: pay attention to exit status from 'help' command

+ fetch: fetch objects by their exact SHA-1 object names
+ upload-pack: optionally allow fetching from the tips of hidden refs
+ fetch: use struct ref to represent refs to be fetched
+ parse_fetch_refspec(): clarify the codeflow a bit
Allows requests to fetch objects at any tip of refs (including
hidden ones). It seems that there may be use cases even outside
Gerrit (e.g. $gmane/215701).
Will cook in 'next'.
* mn/send-email-works-with-credential (2013-02-12) 6 commits
- git-send-email: use git credential to obtain password
- Git.pm: add interface for git credential command
- Git.pm: allow pipes to be closed prior to calling command_close_bidi_pipe
- Git.pm: refactor command_close_bidi_pipe to use _cmd_close
- Git.pm: fix example in command_close_bidi_pipe documentation
- Git.pm: allow command_close_bidi_pipe to be called as method
Hooks the credential system to send-email.
Rerolled.
Waiting for a review.
* nd/branch-show-rebase-bisect-state (2013-02-08) 1 commit
- branch: show rebase/bisect info when possible instead of "(no branch)"
Expecting a reroll.
$gmane/215771
* nd/count-garbage (2013-02-15) 4 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-17 at b2af923)
+ count-objects: report how much disk space taken by garbage files
+ count-objects: report garbage files in pack directory too
+ sha1_file: reorder code in prepare_packed_git_one()
+ git-count-objects.txt: describe each line in -v output
Will cook in 'next'.
* tz/credential-authinfo (2013-02-25) 1 commit
- Add contrib/credentials/netrc with GPG support
A new read-only credential helper (in contrib/) to interact with
the .netrc/.authinfo files. Hopefully mn/send-email-authinfo topic
can rebuild on top of something like this.
Will merge to and cook in 'next'.
* jl/submodule-deinit (2013-02-17) 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/216498
* jc/remove-export-from-config-mak-in (2013-02-12) 2 commits
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-12 at eb8af04)
+ Makefile: do not export mandir/htmldir/infodir
(merged to 'next' on 2013-02-07 at 33f7d4f)
+ config.mak.in: remove unused definitions
config.mak.in template had an "export" line to cause a few
common makefile variables to be exported; if they need to be
expoted for autoconf/configure users, they should also be exported
for people who write config.mak the same way. Move the "export" to
the main Makefile. Also, stop exporting mandir that used to be
exported (only) when config.mak.autogen was used. It would have
broken installation of manpages (but not other documentation
formats).

* jc/remove-treesame-parent-in-simplify-merges (2013-01-17) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2013-01-30 at b639b47)
+ simplify-merges: drop merge from irrelevant side branch
The --simplify-merges logic did not cull irrelevant parents from a
merge that is otherwise not interesting with respect to the paths
we are following.
This touches a fairly core part of the revision traversal
infrastructure; even though I think this change is correct, please
report immediately if you find any unintended side effect.
Will cook in 'next'.
* jc/push-2.0-default-to-simple (2013-01-16) 14 commits
