Incremental preview of "What's cooking" 1st issue of this year

[Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>]

These are only notable new bits.  I'll send out the real report probably
tomorrow or the day after.

--------------------------------------------------
[New Topics]

* ss/git-svn-prompt-sans-terminal (2012-01-03) 2 commits
 - git-svn, perl/Git.pm: extend Git::prompt helper for querying users
 - perl/Git.pm: "prompt" helper to honor GIT_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS

The bottom one has been replaced with a rewrite based on comments from
Ævar, and the top one was adjusted to it. Peff's suggestion to give
precedence to tty over SSH_ASKPASS when terminal is available may make
sense for the second one, so we may want to fix the second one further
once 1.7.9 is out. I think the bottom one is OK for 1.7.9.

Will merge the bottom one to 'next' soonish.

* pw/p4-view-updates (2012-01-03) 6 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2012-01-03 at c3b5872)
 + git-p4: view spec documentation
 + git-p4: rewrite view handling
 + git-p4: support single file p4 client view maps
 + git-p4: sort client views by reverse View number
 + git-p4: fix test for unsupported P4 Client Views
 + git-p4: test client view handling

Will merge to 'master' by 1.7.9 unless real git-p4 users object (I am not
one of them, so I cannot really judge).

--------------------------------------------------
[Graduated to "master"]

* jv/maint-config-set (2011-12-27) 1 commit
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-12-27 at 551ac8f)
 + Fix an incorrect reference to --set-all.

* pw/p4-docs-and-tests (2011-12-27) 11 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-12-28 at 8acf26e)
 + git-p4: document and test submit options
 + git-p4: test and document --use-client-spec
 + git-p4: test --keep-path
 + git-p4: test --max-changes
 + git-p4: document and test --import-local
 + git-p4: honor --changesfile option and test
 + git-p4: document and test clone --branch
 + git-p4: test cloning with two dirs, clarify doc
 + git-p4: clone does not use --git-dir
 + git-p4: introduce asciidoc documentation
 + rename git-p4 tests

--------------------------------------------------
[Cooking]

* jh/fetch-head-update (2012-01-03) 1 commit
 - write first for-merge ref to FETCH_HEAD first

Will merge to 'next'.

* jc/signed-commit (2011-11-29) 5 commits
  (merged to 'next' on 2011-12-21 at 8fcbf00)
 + gpg-interface: allow use of a custom GPG binary
 + pretty: %G[?GS] placeholders
 + test "commit -S" and "log --show-signature"
 + log: --show-signature
 + commit: teach --gpg-sign option

I am ambivalent on this one. I do not desperately need it myself, I know
the kernel folks do not, I heard some other people might.

We should to do something similar to what we do for the embedded "gpgsig"
header in this series to the embedded "mergetag" header that is used to
record a merge of a signed tag when the "--show-signature" option and/or
"%G[?GS]" pretty placeholders are used, so it may make sense to merge this
and build such feature on top of it before 1.7.9 ships.

Opinions?
