No question about that part.  I've been meaning to start drawing
the line of what to have in 1.4 and what to leave out, but the
last week was shot so I haven't got around to.

A rough outline.

I'd like to have the following topics from "next":

 * cvsserver and cvsexportcommit updates (ml/cvs)

   Ready.

 * config syntax (lt/config)

   Ready.

 * built-in grep (jc/grep)

   Ready.

 * built-in format-patch (js/fmt-patch)

   Some features are still missing compared to the script
   version.

 * remotes/ information from .git/config (js/fetchconfig)

   This by itself is more or less ready, but I would like to
   further adjust it to the "per branch configuration"
   discussion before pushing it out.

   I'd like to eventually arrange things like this.

   [branch "master"]
	remote = "ko-private"
	; prevent "reset --hard" from rewinding past this.
        rewind-barrier = refs/heads/ko-master

   ; my private build areas on the kernel.org machines
   [remote "ko-private"]
   	url = "x86-64-build.kernel.org:git"
   	url = "i386-build.kernel.org:git"
        push = master:origin
        push = next:next
        push = +pu:pu
        push = maint:maint

   ; for publishing and keeping track of what I pushed there last time
   [remote "ko"]
   	url = "kernel.org:/pub/scm/git/git.git"
        push = master:master
        push = next:next
        push = +pu:pu
        push = maint:maint
	fetch = master:ko-master
	fetch = next:ko-next
        fetch = +pu:ko-pu
        fetch = maint:ko-maint
