I am nominating the following topics to graduate to 'master' by the end of this week (or in the middle of the next week at the latest). Those graduating earlier than others are: (1) trivially correct and safe; (2) of minor impact and even if they are broken, no real harm will be done; or (3) touch parts of the system that are so important that we would want to learn unforseen breakages sooner rather than later in the cycle, and we have done sufficient reviews and testing on 'next' already. The last category is of particular importance, as we seemed to have seen a few regression reports _after_ topics that have been cooking for a long time in 'next' graduated to 'master' during the latest cycle. We need to recruit more people from minority platforms and with various different workflows to test 'next' more, but that will not happen overnight, so the next best thing we can do is to feed topics that are reasonably well cooked in 'next' early to 'master'. * nd/fetch-pack-shallow-fix (2013-08-25) 1 commit (merged to 'next' on 2013-08-27 at 7c2a162) + fetch-pack: do not remove .git/shallow file when --depth is not specified Recent "short-cut clone connectivity check" topic broke a shallow repository when a fetch operation tries to auto-follow tags.
