Wait, I was under the impression the graduation was going to happen for v2.0. I don't understand what is the point of preparing the v2.0 for so long, and then all of a sudden tag v2.0.0-rc0 and say "oops! if you wanted to get something into v2.0 it's too late now", wait another 2-10 years for important changes to get merged. Such a wasted opportunity and such a disappointing release. Therefore the release notes are still lying to the users: * "git push" via transport-helper interface (e.g. remote-hg) has been updated to allow ref deletion in a way similar to the natively supported transports. That is not true. These should obviously be part of the v2.0: * fc/remote-helpers-hg-bzr-graduation (2014-04-29) 11 commits + remote-helpers: move tests out of contrib + remote-helpers: move out of contrib + remote-helpers: squelch python import exceptions - remote-{hg,bzr}: store marks only on success * fc/remote-helper-refmap (2014-04-21) 8 commits (merged to 'next' on 2014-04-22 at fb5a4c2) + transport-helper: remove unnecessary strbuf resets + transport-helper: add support to delete branches + fast-export: add support to delete refs + fast-import: add support to delete refs + transport-helper: add support to push symbolic refs + transport-helper: add support for old:new refspec + fast-export: add new --refspec option + fast-export: improve argument parsing * fc/merge-default-to-upstream (2014-04-22) 1 commit + merge: enable defaulttoupstream by default * fc/mergetool-prompt (2014-04-24) 2 commits + mergetool: document the default for --[no-]prompt + mergetool: run prompt only if guessed tool Plus this one which has been completely ignored: completion: move out of contrib Since you are not going to do so, I do not feel compelled to fix the synchronization crash regression that is present in v2.0.0-rc2 and I already warned you about. -- Felipe Contreras
