10 to pick an item from the list and work on it.

17 * Handling pushing into non-bare repository more gracefully.
19 When git-push is done to a non-bare repository and updates the
20 branch that is currently checked out, we currently do not do

33 [jc: I have a fixed-up one parked in 'pu' and also outlined what
34 other things I think are needed in my response:

39 * Use git.git as the first public guinea pig of subproject

42 Message-ID: <7vmz13z4au.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
44 Use git.git as the first public guinea pig of subproject stuff,
45 by dropping git-gui/ directory first and then binding git-gui.git
46 as a subproject there. This needs to wait at least until v1.5.2
47 ships and gets installed at kernel.org and repo.or.cz
49 * Decide what to do with 'filter' and 'ident' attribute patches.

54 If we were to include it, we would need to make it clear that
55 this is a long piece of rope and you can strangle yourself with
56 it unless you are careful, and clarify what is and isn't
57 considered to be "careful". I have parked updates in 'pu', but
58 I do not know they are clear enough.
60 * TODO list management

65 Maybe abandon this and have something similar on the main
66 branch, starting full at the beginning of the cycle and ending
67 empty (or full of "not in next release" entries) at the release?

74 Repeated requests against git-daemon makes it stuck under --syslog
76 [jc: does not reproduce easily for me; has anybody seen it?]
78 * git-mirror (reverse of git-push --all).

85 * AsciiDoc 8 would break our documentation.

95 * Gitweb diff on merge commits

98 Subject: Re: git show and gitweb gives different result for kernel
99 Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0610061202060.3952@g5.osdl.org>
101 Maybe allow gitweb to show diff with any parent and diff --cc,
102 not just diff with the first parent for a merge.
104 [jc: Jakub is interested in it]
111 * upload-pack support for start fetching from any valid point on
112 the history, not just published refs. (Erik W. Biederman
113 <m164jc9ekx.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com>)
115 * daemon --strict-symlink.
117 * Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in applymbox as well.
119 * "git fetch" should be able to use foreign SCM import backends
120 such as svnimport and cvsimport.
126 * Mbx (not mbox) support for git-mailsplit.
128 * git-clone fail .git/refs/foo (Yann Dirson <ydirson@altern.org>)
129 <20060610225040.GA7766@nowhere.earth>
131 * git-proxy should be spawned with sh -c 'command' $1 $2.
135 * Maybe a true git-proxy command that reads the first request
136 pkt-line, and redirects the request to its real destination.
138 * test scripts for the relative directory path stuff.
