This is a sanity-check to see if everybody is on the same page. I am not the Emperor anyway ;-) Deprecation and Removal ----------------------- * We have already removed svnimport without giving a deprecation notice in the release notes of the previous feature release, which was bad. Maybe the users will forgive us. Maybe not. * As discussed on the list, v1.5.4 will ship with the dashed form of commands (e.g. "git-commit") on users' PATH by default. However we will move them outside the normal PATH (exact location needs to be decided by checking FHS first, something like /usr/libexec/git-core) in v1.5.5 so the release notes to v1.5.4 will declare deprecation (see the top of Documentation/RelNotes-1.5.4.txt). We might want to keep copies of dashed form Porcelains in /usr/bin but that discussion is towards v1.5.5 (post v1.5.4, not now). * We also will give deprecation warning for the following features and commands in the release notes to v1.5.4, and remove them in v1.5.5: - lost-found (use fsck --lost-found); - post-update hook (use post-receive hook); - peek-remote (use ls-remote) Topics not in 'master' yet but should be in v1.5.4 -------------------------------------------------- I think the following should go in, along with what we already have in 'master': * git-commit in C (Kristian and others) * git-add --patch (Wincent) * git-prune --expire (Dscho) * git-add --interactive coloring (Dan Zwell) * whitespace error classes in diff and patch, using gitattributes (Bruce and me) * cvsserver runs post-receive (Michael Witten) * git-rebase -i gives chance to rerere (Dscho) * git-rebase gives more appropriate help text (Wincent) * make refspec matching logic in git-push and git-fetch saner (Steffen Prohaska) * work-tree related minor fixes (Nguyen and Dscho) * allow update hook to munge commit (Steven Grimm) I'd like to explicitly exclude topics about the following, although I think there might be worthwhile ones among them to think about in the longer term: * removing dashed form from the filesystem * teaching diff family about fileglob pathspecs * making it possible to omit leading paths from diff family output when run from a subdirectory
