Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2010, #02; Wed, 11)
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.version-control.git
Date: 2010-08-11 23:35:37 GMT (1 year, 25 weeks, 6 days, 19 hours and 3 minutes ago)
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
marked with '.' do not appear in any of the integration branches, but I am
still holding onto them.
Has the rate of patch traffic increased markedly for the past few months?
I am feeling perpetually behind these days...
