Here is the index of topics that I am aware of; some of them may not be anywhere in git.git. Regressions? * fetch with "refs/*:refs/*" errors out erroneously http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77335 I think tonight's patch would fix it; let's see how well it goes... * "git fetch" shows error when dangling symref exists at the remote but does not really error out http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/76658 * "git fetch" does not exit with non-zero status when it failed to update some refs due to non-ffness http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77178 New features that won't be merged before 1.5.5 final. * ff=only (Sverre Hvammen Johansen) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78250 With vastly improved documentation and justification compared to the previous rounds, I am beginning to actulaly like this series. * more help backends (Christian Couder) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78150 With the documentation clarification the overall idea looked fine. * cvsserver updates (Damien Diederen with help by Frank Lichtenheld) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78188 Looked cleanly done. * use single database to serve more than one cvsserver instances (Josh Elsasser) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78366 Looked cleanly done. * rewriting annotated tags in filter-branch (Brandon Casey) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78286 I haven't been heavily involved in this program, neither as a user nor a designer, so I am not absolutely sure about the details, but the idea looked clean and sane. * git lost-found vs git fsck --lost-found (me) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78267 * core.inithook (Dscho) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78123 This would hopefully give a cleaner way for mingw folks to futz with core.autocrlf without breaking existing setups. * receive.localBranches = { refuse | allow } (Dscho) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78065 The infamous "do not push into a repository with work tree". * autosetting core.ignorecase (Dmitry Potapov) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78176 Follow-up to Linus's "case insensitive" git * mailinfo extention to extract Message-ID and others (Anton Gladkov) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78006 * add -p with mode change (Jeff King) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78340 * rebase -p http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/78074 I highly suspect that this is much deeper than just the implementation. * synopsys: use {} instead of () for grouping alternatives (Jari Aalto) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/72243 I sent an invitation for this topic earlier, but we are at -rc2 and it is too late for 1.5.5 now. * "[alias] st = status" and "cd .git && git st" (Jeff King) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/72327 * use "assume unchanged" bit to implement narrow checkout http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77046 * send-pack vs receive-pack history exchange (me) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77643 * zlib abstraction (Marco) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/72262 * git --index-file=<foo> <cmd> (Linus) http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/77332
