As you can see from the above, the core part does not have
drastic changes these days anymore. Just some boring fixes with
a handful new and interesting developments.
In the "next" branch is the "insanely fast rename detection".
I've done some minor fixups to its hash function to be usable on
both 32-bit and 64-bit machines but otherwise it is what was
posted by Linus to the list. It completes the rename detection
between v2.6.12 and v2.6.14 kernel source under 5 seconds on my
Duron 750 with slow disks, where the current "master" branch
version takes about 60 seconds.
Also I've been keeping ls-{tree,files} --abbrev patches and
refs/remotes patch from Eric Wong in 'next' and 'pu'. I haven't
seen anybody jumps up and down to have them merged to "master",
nor have been asked to push them out sooner so that a widely
used Porcelain or two can take advantage of them, and that's the
only reason why they are not in "master". In other words, while
I do not have much against them, it would be nicer to have a
convincing argument why they are must-have's or even
better-have's before they graduate.
