What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2013, #02; Wed, 6)
--------------------------------------------------
Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with
'-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
'+' are in 'next'.
An early preview 1.8.5-rc0 has been tagged. There still are handful
of fixes and enhancements left in 'next' that I'd like to see in the
final, which will hopefully be in when the first release candidate
is tagged.
The first release candidate 1.8.5-rc1 has been tagged.
As promised/requested, the final steps for 2.0 are in 'next'; they,
together with a handful topics that have been merged to 'next'
fairly recently, will _not_ be part of the upcoming 1.8.5 release,
but will be carried over in 'next' to the next cycle.
There is a proposed rewording of advice message from "git push"
patch, which is tentatively queued near the tip of 'pu' for now; it
would be nice to get a few more sets of eyeballs. I am not sure if
we should merge it before the 1.8.5 final, yet (we have i18n to
worry about, among other things).

Will merge to 'next' after taking another look.
The "-tags" option to "git fetch" used to be literally a synonym to
a "refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*" refspec, which meant that (1) as an
explicit refspec given from the command line, it silenced the lazy
"git fetch" default that is configured, and (2) also as an explicit
refspec given from the command line, it interacted with "--prune"
to remove any tag that the remote we are fetching from does not
have.
This demotes it to an option; with it, we fetch all tags in
addition to what would be fetched without the option, and it does
not interact with the decision "--prune" makes to see what
remote-tracking refs the local has are missing the remote
counterpart.
