I've no idea what suggestions you are talking about.

Wait, I was under the impression the graduation was going to happen for
v2.0.

I don't understand what is the point of preparing the v2.0 for so long,
and then all of a sudden tag v2.0.0-rc0 and say "oops! if you wanted to
get something into v2.0 it's too late now", wait another 2-10 years for
important changes to get merged.

Such a wasted opportunity and such a disappointing release.

Therefore the release notes are still lying to the users:

 * "git push" via transport-helper interface (e.g. remote-hg) has
   been updated to allow ref deletion in a way similar to the natively
   supported transports.

That is not true.

These should obviously be part of the v2.0:

* fc/remote-helpers-hg-bzr-graduation (2014-04-29) 11 commits
 + remote-helpers: move tests out of contrib
 + remote-helpers: move out of contrib
 + remote-helpers: squelch python import exceptions
 - remote-{hg,bzr}: store marks only on success

* fc/remote-helper-refmap (2014-04-21) 8 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2014-04-22 at fb5a4c2)
 + transport-helper: remove unnecessary strbuf resets
 + transport-helper: add support to delete branches
 + fast-export: add support to delete refs
 + fast-import: add support to delete refs
 + transport-helper: add support to push symbolic refs
 + transport-helper: add support for old:new refspec
 + fast-export: add new --refspec option
 + fast-export: improve argument parsing

* fc/merge-default-to-upstream (2014-04-22) 1 commit
 + merge: enable defaulttoupstream by default

* fc/mergetool-prompt (2014-04-24) 2 commits
 + mergetool: document the default for --[no-]prompt
 + mergetool: run prompt only if guessed tool

Plus this one which has been completely ignored:

   completion: move out of contrib


Since you are not going to do so, I do not feel compelled to fix the
synchronization crash regression that is present in v2.0.0-rc2 and I
already warned you about.
