patch, perhaps ;-).

-* Make "git branch -d foo" while on foo branch suggest "maybe
- you want to go back to 'master'?"

Design issues
-------------
-* "intent to add" index entries?
+* tree entries in index? -- sorry, stalled
+
+* "intent to add" index entries? -- together with the above
+ needs rethinking.
* Plug-in file-level merges. On the other hand, we may not even
need this; just tell people to run "xxdiff -U" on the working
- tree files.
-
-* Doing a merge in a separate directory?
-
-* Make 'format-patch' take revision limiters similar to
- rev-list. For example:
-
- A C
- ....---x---o---o---x---o---o
- /
- /
- /
- ....---x---o---o
- B
-
- we should be able to format commits 'o', without duplicates,
- by:
-
- $ git format-patch ^A ^B C
-
- Currently the closest approximation is
-
- $ git format-patch A..C B..C
-
- which results in the last two commits including C formatted
- twice.
+ tree files (or kompare).
Technical (heavier)
* Libification. There are many places "run once" mentality is
ingrained in the management of basic data structures, which
- need to be fixed. [Matthias Urlichs is already working on
- this: <pan.2005.10.03.20.48.52.132570@smurf.noris.de>]
-
-* Maybe a pack optimizer.
-
- Given a set of objects and a set of refs (probably a handful
- branch heads and point release tags), find a set of packs to
- allow reasonably minimum download for all of these classes of
- people: (1) somebody cloning the repository from scratch, (2)
- somebody who tends to follow the master branch head reasonably
- closely, (3) somebody who tends to follow only the point
- releases.
+ need to be fixed. [Matthias Urlichs was already working on
+ this: <pan.2005.10.03.20.48.52.132570@smurf.noris.de>, but I
+ do not know what happened to his efforts]
- This needs a matching smart on the dumb protocol downloader.
+* Lazy clones that can be controlled by the user, ranging from
+ totally on-demand a la CVS/SVN to "cache down to this old
+ commit so that I can make full use of git on at least recent
+ history". This need a lot of work in making tools to exit
+ gracefully when they hit unavailable objects while offline.
Technical (milder)
------------------
-* Shallow clones.
+* git grep should be able to omit prefix when invoked from a
+ subdirectory. Either make it an option or default with
+ --full-name like ls-files does.
+
+* duplicated refspec given to "fetch-pack a a a" makes it emit
+ strange error message because it triggers the "match only
+ once" logic. Maybe strip the dups on the input side
+ (Uwe Zeisberger
+ <20060608073857.GA5072@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>).
+
+* map only parts of huge packfiles and LRU fragments of them.
+ People are starting to try git on projects with deep history
+ and/or many objects, e.g. Mozilla.
+
+* upload-pack support for start fetching from any valid point on
+ the history, not just published refs. (Erik W. Biederman
+ <m164jc9ekx.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com>)
+
+* git-daemon side support for virtual hosting. Client side
+ is ready in 1.4.0 (Jon Loeliger <1149610100.23938.75.camel@cashmere.sps.mot.com>).
+
+* teach git-upload-pack not to ack-continue early when the
+ client has roots it does not know about but it already has
+ learned the fork points for all the requested heads
+ (Ralf Baechle <20060524131022.GA11449@linux-mips.org>).
+
+* Per user .gitconfig across repositories -- ongoing.
* Encourage competition between annotate vs blame. Maybe come
up with some nontrivial test cases.
-* Subprojects. I think the "bind commit" approach has been
- outlined at sufficiently detailed level. Maybe find time to
- actually start prototyping it?
+* Subprojects. Try "gitlink" -- sorry, stalled.

+* Rebase and checkout -m should be able to use recursive
+ strategy as well. These commands currently do not work across
+ renames.
* Decide what to do about rebase applied to merged head. One
extreme is to allow rebase if "rev-list ours..theirs" gives
* Perhaps detect cloning request in upload-pack and cache the
result for next cloning request until any of our refs change.
-* Perhaps deal with "Files differ" (binary diff) in non C
- locales.
-
* Maybe grok PGP signed text/plain in applymbox as well.
* git-proxy should be spawned with sh -c 'command' $1 $2.
+* Maybe a true git-proxy command that reads the first request
+ pkt-line, and redirects the request to its real destination.
+
* test scripts for the relative directory path stuff.
* In a freshly created empty repository, `git fetch foo:bar`
