Here is a list of stalled topics I am having trouble deciding what
to do (the default is to dismiss them around feature freeze).

[snipped]

* as/check-ignore (2012-11-08) 14 commits

 - Documentation/check-ignore: we show the deciding match, not the first
 - Add git-check-ignore sub-command
 - dir.c: provide free_directory() for reclaiming dir_struct memory

 Duy helped to reroll this, but it seems that there weren't any
 activity since then during my absense.

I have been delayed several times, but I finally resumed work on
another re-roll.  I don't think there is any major reworking required;
just a number of small tweaks.

* as/test-tweaks (2012-09-20) 7 commits
 - tests: paint unexpectedly fixed known breakages in bold red
 - tests: test the test framework more thoroughly
 - [SQUASH] t/t0000-basic.sh: quoting of TEST_DIRECTORY is screwed up
 - tests: refactor mechanics of testing in a sub test-lib
 - tests: paint skipped tests in bold blue
 - tests: test number comes first in 'not ok $count - $message'
 - tests: paint known breakages in bold yellow

 Various minor tweaks to the test framework to paint its output
 lines in colors that match what they mean better.

 Has the "is this really blue?" issue Peff raised resolved???

I have a re-roll of this ready - just need to rebase to latest master,
do a final sanity check, and then send.

Sorry again for the delays.
