-* Peter Hagervall's sparse fix [DONE].
-
-* Alex Riesen reported that hooks are in effect in tests.
- Should fix [DONE].
-
-* Disallow [\001-\040\177] byte values from ref names. Also we
- need to disallow ':' (used in refspec), '^' and '~' (postfix
- "peel the onion" operators), and '..' ("ref1..ref2" notation
- becomes ambiguous otherwise) [DONE].
-
-* Update fetch-pack and clone-pack to ignore funny refs from the
- other end, while making sure peek-remote does not discard them.
- [DONE]
-
-* Update upload-pack to send tag^{}. This would hopefully help
- Pasky's automated tag tracking, and also Martin's findtags.
- [DONE]
-
-* Adjust update-index to quoted --index-info.
-
-* Prepare apply.c changes for maint branch (0.99.8e).
-
-* Show ^{commit}, ^{tree} instead of ^{} from ls-remote.
-
-* Readjust maint branch for the above (0.99.8e).
-
-* short SHA1 naming is not enforcing uniqueness. Should fix [DONE].

-* 'git repack' can be DOSed. Should fix [DONE].
-
