 --------------------------------------------------
 
 Here are the topics that have been cooking.  Commits prefixed with
 '-' are only in 'pu' (proposed updates) while commits prefixed with
 '+' are in 'next'.  The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of
 the integration branches, but I am still holding onto them.
 
-Git v2.10.2, the second maintenance release for 2.10.x track, has
-been tagged.  On the master front, an early preview v2.11.0-rc0 has
-been tagged.  An updated, slightly slipped from the original,
-schedule is found at http://tinyurl.com/gitCal and I am hoping that
-we can conclude this cycle before US Thanksgiving.
+Hopefully 2.11-rc1 can be tagged by the end of the week.  Sorry for
+the delay (and thanks for great help from y'all, especially Peff).
 
 You can find the changes described here in the integration branches

- + git-sh-setup: be explicit where to dot-source git-sh-i18n from.
-
- Recent update to git-sh-setup (a library of shell functions that
- are used by our in-tree scripted Porcelain commands) included
- another shell library git-sh-i18n without specifying where it is,
- relying on the $PATH.  This has been fixed to be more explicit by

+ A small code cleanup.
 
- The user always has to say "stash@{$N}" when naming a single
- element in the default location of the stash, i.e. reflogs in
- refs/stash.  The "git stash" command learned to accept "git stash

- The smudge/clean filter API expect an external process is spawned
- to filter the contents for each path that has a filter defined.  A
- new type of "process" filter API has been added to allow the first
- request to run the filter for a path to spawn a single process, and
- all filtering need is served by this single process for multiple
- paths, reducing the process creation overhead.

- Git generally does not explicitly close file descriptors that were
- open in the parent process when spawning a child process, but most
- of the time the child does not want to access them. As Windows does
- not allow removing or renaming a file that has a file descriptor
- open, a slow-to-exit child can even break the parent process by
- holding onto them.  Use O_CLOEXEC flag to open files in various
- codepaths.
