<commit_before>We are getting close to creating the 1.6.x branch.  This file lists the tasks
we want to complete before branching.  "Blocker" tasks must be done before we
branch, while "optional" tasks would be nice to have completed, but aren't
essential.

Tasks which need to happen before the 1.6.0 release, but aren't related to when
we branch should be put in the issue tracker with the 1.6 milestone.

Blocker:

 * #3334: Tree conflicts "merry-go-round" about update updating the base.
   <NAME> is working on this. Done for when victim is a file, still
   doing for when victim is a directory.

 * #3343: Switch to skel for TC information, rather than using another
   serialization format. (Also listed under "Optional". Not really a blocker?)

 * Test failures in tree conflicts tests on RA-Serf:
   <http://www.mobsol.be/buildbot/x86-macosx-gnu%2520shared%2520daily%2520ra_serf/builds/96>

 * Test failures in Ruby bindings.

Optional:

 * Merge the sparse-directories deselection branch, as noted by kfogel:
   http://svn.haxx.se/dev/archive-2008-10/1001.shtml

 * Tree conflicts - essential issues:

   - #3209: Tests XFAIL due to changed tree-conflicts behaviour
<commit_msg>* TODO-1.6:   Remove item regarding tc failures over ra_serf.  This was fixed in serf's   r1206, and the buildbot now passes all tests.<commit_after>We are getting close to creating the 1.6.x branch.  This file lists the tasks
