Re: 1.7.7-rc0 tagged and pushed out

... and I think I've collected all the recent leftover topics from the
list that are at least going in the right direction if not perfect and
queued them to update 'pu'.

Here is a preview of the "New Topics" section of the next "What's
cooking".


[New Topics]

* mg/maint-notes-C-doc (2011-08-25) 1 commit
 - git-notes.txt: clarify -C vs. copy and -F

* jc/clean-exclude-doc (2011-08-26) 1 commit
 - Documentation: clarify "git clean -e <pattern>"

* mh/check-ref-format-print-normalize (2011-08-25) 1 commit
 - check-ref-format --print: Normalize refnames that start with slashes

These tiny clean-up topics could go to 1.7.7 final. On the other hand,
they are not urgent, either.

* bk/ancestry-path (2011-08-25) 3 commits
 - revision: do not include sibling history in --ancestry-path output
 - revision: keep track of the end-user input from the command line
 - rev-list: Demonstrate breakage with --ancestry-path --all

The topic came up a bit too late in the cycle.

* mg/branch-list (2011-08-26) 5 commits
 - branch: allow pattern arguments
 - branch: introduce --list option
 - git-branch: introduce missing long forms for the options
 - git-tag: introduce long forms for the options
 - t6040: test branch -vv
 (this branch uses nk/branch-v-abbrev.)

The topic came up a bit too late in the cycle.

* mm/rebase-i-exec-edit (2011-08-26) 2 commits
 - rebase -i: notice and warn if "exec $cmd" modifies the index or the working tree
 - rebase -i: clean error message for --continue after failed exec

The topic came up a bit too late in the cycle.

* jk/default-attr (2011-08-26) 1 commit
 - attr: map builtin userdiff drivers to well-known extensions

I fixed up the test breakage just for fun, but this is not urgent.

* hv/submodule-merge-search (2011-08-26) 4 commits
 - submodule: Search for merges only at end of recursive merge
 - allow multiple calls to submodule merge search for the same path
 - submodule: Demonstrate known breakage during recursive merge
 - push: Don't push a repository with unpushed submodules
 (this branch uses fg/submodule-ff-check-before-push, fg/submodule-ff-check-before-push and jc/combine-diff-callback.)

The topic came up a bit too late in the cycle.
The bottom one needs to be replaced with a properly written commit log message.

* mm/mediawiki-as-a-remote (2011-08-26) 1 commit
 - Add a remote helper to interact with mediawiki (fetch & push)

Fun.

* nd/maint-autofix-tag-in-head (2011-08-26) 3 commits
 - Accept tags in HEAD or MERGE_HEAD
 - merge: remove global variable head[]
 - merge: keep stash[] a local variable

Probably needs a re-roll to aim a bit higher.
