* Talk about using rsync just once at the beginning when
initializing a remote repository so that local packs do not

support for this.

* Tony Luck reported an unfortunate glitch in the 3-way merge.
Encourage discussions to come up with a not-so-expensive way
to catch the kind of ambiguities that led to his misery.
+ [STARTED TESTING PATCH FROM DANIEL]
+
+* We might want to optimize cloning with GIT native transport
+ not to explode the pack, and store it in objects/pack instead.
+ We would need a tool to generate an idx file out of a pack
+ file for this. Also this itself may turn out to be a bad
+ idea, making the set of packs in repositories everybody has
+ different from each other.
+
+* Maybe a pack optimizer. I am not convinced that packing all
+ objects into a single pack and removing all the existing panck
+ is the right way to go, since that would work against people
+ who already have those packs.
+
+* Maybe an Emacs VC backend.
Technical (milder)
(e.g. somebody pushed into your repository, or you ran "git
fetch" to update the ref your working tree is on), "git
checkout" without -f gets confused. Figure out a good way to
- handle this.
+ handle this. [DONE]
+
+* We still have the same issue with "git fetch". Fetching into
+ the branch one is on _may_ need to do the same thing as
+ fetching into anonymous head and then do the resolve. At
+ least it needs a warning. [DONE]
* "git commit -m" should work for initial commits and perhaps
merge commits as well. Warning about merge is still a good
thing to do, while -m is useful in scripted non-interactive
- use, so we need to be careful.
+ use, so we need to be careful. [DONE]
* Encourage concrete proposals to commit log message templates
we discussed some time ago.
+* Test apply.c patches from Robert Fitzsmons and have them
+ graduate to "master" branch.
+
* Bug Ryan and work with him to update send-email easier to use.
+ [Resurrected it for Debian build.]
* Look at portability fixes from Jason Riedy
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ejr/gits/git.git#portable
+ [Applied. Burned by one of them and backed out, but otherwise
+ looks OK.]
+
* Accept patches to cause "read-tree -u" delete a directory when
it makes it empty.
* Perhaps accept patches to introduce the concept of "patch flow
expressed as ref mappings" Josef has been advocating about.
+* Perhaps accept patches to do undo/redo.
+
* MIMEified applymbox to grok B and Q encodings in headers and
turn them into UTF-8; unwrap QP; explode multipart.
+ [DONE. waiting for a bug to happen ;-) ]
+
+* Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in applymbox as well.
+
+* Perhaps a tool to revert a single file to pre-modification
+ state? git-cat-file blob `git-ls-files | grep foo` >foo or
+ git-cat-file blob `git-ls-tree HEAD foo` >foo? What should
+ the command be called? git-revert is taken so is
+ git-checkout.

* A tool to detect, show and prune already merged topic
branches.
-* Perhaps "git branch -d" to delete a branch.
+* Set up an automated documentation rebuilding procedure at
+ kernel.org, using update hook mechanism. [DONE]
+
+* Describe automated documentation rebuilding in a howto form
+ [DONE].
* Enhance "git repack" to not always use --all; this would be
handy if the repository contains wagging heads like "pu" in
git.git repository.
+* Accept and apply "git repack --all" patch, except the part
+ that removes the existing packs. [DONE]
+
+* Internally split the project into non-doc and doc parts; add
+ an extra root for the doc part and merge from it; move the
+ internal doc source to a separate repository, like the +Meta
+ repository; experiment if this results in a reasonable
+ workflow, and document it in howto form if it does.
+
+* Add names to all nodes in show-branch [DONE].
+
+* Option to limit rename detection for more than N paths.
+
+
+Technical (trivial)
+-------------------
+
+* Look at and merge Debian fixes from Tommi [Done].
+
+* Perhaps "git branch -d" to delete a branch.
+
* Remove "git clone-dumb-http".
+
+* We would want test scripts for the relative directory path
+ stuff Linus has been working on. So far, the following
+ commands should be usable with relative directory paths:
+
+ update-cache
+ ls-files
+ diff-files
+ diff-cache
+ diff-tree
+ rev-list
+
+
+Initial repository Gotchas
+--------------------------
+
+* `git fetch foo:bar` works OK, but `git checkout bar`
+ afterwards does not (missing `.git/HEAD`)
+
+* `git commit -s` did not add signoff for initial commit [DONE].
+
+* `git status` does not work well when missing `.git/HEAD` [DONE].
+
+* `git log` either; git-log-script uses die which does not exist
+ [DONE].
