* Latest maintenance release 1.3.2 is out from the 'maint' branch.
* The 'master' branch has these since the last announcement, not
counting what is in v1.3.2.
- blame path-pruning fix (Fredrik Kuivinen)
- built-in push (Linus, Johannes Schindelin)
- beginning of "put remotes/ info in config file" (Johannes Schindelin)
- repo-config updates and fixes (Johannes Schindelin)
- built-in count-objects and diff
- core.prefersymlinkrefs can be given to use symlink HEAD;
this may be needed to bisect kernel history before January
2006 whose setlocalversion script depended on HEAD being a
symlink.
- "git-log --parents" fix (Linus)
- use rev-list instead of log in git-cvsserver (Martin Langhoff)
- sha1_to_hex() usage cleanup (Linus)
- Document update-index --unresolve (Matthias Kestenholz)
* The 'next' branch, in addition, has these.
- "put remotes/ info in config file" for fetch side (Johannes Schindelin)
- built-in grep
It now knows all the common grep options I personally use,
including -l, -w, -E, -i, -[ABC]<n>, -v; I am planning to
push this out perhaps mid next week.
- built-in format-patch WIP
I really should resume working on this again...
- cache-tree
Fixed a rather nasty bug; should be safe again to use it now.
- get_sha1(): :path and :[0-3]:path to extract from index.
- diff-delta enhancements (Nicolas Pitre)
* The 'pu' branch, in addition, has these.
- partial tree reading/writing with --prefix option.
- Transitively read alternatives (Martin Waitz)
Dear diary, on Thu, May 04, 2006 at 10:14:54AM CEST, I got a letter
where Junio C Hamano <[email protected]> said that...

Oh, I expected this to end up in 1.3.2, actually. :-)
Shouldn't this belong to the maint branch? It is "physically" a new
feature but I would consider "cannot bisect kernel before January" a bug
certainly worth fixing and the feature is pretty tiny. (It seems to be
backwards-incompatible but that only means you should provide some
transition path, I think. ;)

Right now I am having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time. I think
I have forgotten this before.
