Expecting a reroll?

Yes, I have a re-roll ready. I was holding back to see if some of the
helper authors might comment, but got nothing. Perhaps the new version
will spur some interest.

Also, let's drop the top git_getpass bits from the topic for now (they
will not be part of my rebase). They are a separate topic that can go on
top, but I think there was some question from Erik of whether we should
simply roll our own getpass().

* jk/upload-archive-use-start-command (2011-11-21) 1 commit
 - upload-archive: use start_command instead of fork

What's the status of this one?

I think what you have in pu is good, but of course I didn't actually
test it on Windows. Erik?

* jk/maint-1.6.2-upload-archive (2011-11-21) 1 commit
 - archive: don't let remote clients get unreachable commits
 (this branch is used by jk/maint-upload-archive.)

* jk/maint-upload-archive (2011-11-21) 1 commit
 - Merge branch 'jk/maint-1.6.2-upload-archive' into jk/maint-upload-archive
 (this branch uses jk/maint-1.6.2-upload-archive.)

Will merge to 'next' after taking another look.

Thanks. I also have some followup patches to re-loosen to at least
trees reachable from refs. Do you want to leave the tightening to the
maint track, and then consider the re-loosening for master?
