Subject: What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2010, #03; Sun, 15)
Newsgroups: gmane.comp.version-control.git
Date: 2010-08-15 08:54:56 GMT (1 year, 25 weeks, 3 days, 9 hours and 49 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.
--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]
* ab/perl-install (2010-08-03) 1 commit
(merged to 'next' on 2010-08-14 at f2a27ee)

* ab/test (2010-08-14) 6 commits
- t/Makefile: Create test-results dir for smoke target

- Merge branch 'ab/test-coverage'
- Merge branch 'ab/test-smoke'
- Merge branch 'ab/test-prereq'

(this branch uses ab/omit-aggregate-test-result-under-tap-harness, ab/test-coverage,
ab/test-no-skip, ab/test-prereq and ab/test-smoke.)
All the test-related topics seem to be almost ready for 'next', so I made
a single aggregate of them in preparation for merging (there is one fix-up
already still on 'pu', which is good).

merging this, but extra sets of eyeballs from parties involved (Jonathan
and Szeder) would always be a good idea.
