Weekly 0.13 release summary.

[Wouter van Heyst]

Hi all, this is my weekly summary, which I hope to send out every week
on Monday. THis issue is a bit late, my apologies for that.

For the 0.13 release I'm doing things a bit differently from the
previous releases. Instead of retargeting everything left-over from 0.12
to 0.13, I'm trying to only target things that I'm confident will land. 
Going over the list of bugs/specs and targeting them to 0.13 when
they're implemented and merged is thus an ongoing effort. 

I haven't gone through all the specs yet, but they look like they need
some triaging. If you know the status should be different, please change
it so it reflects reality. Bugs too of course, please help keep our
launchpad pages healthy and usable :)


I don't plan to set any hard release goals, but I do really want
to have bug 43923 (changing init-repo default to --trees) resolved.
Other than that, some things I'd _like_ to see more progress on, and
ideally land:

Specs:
    Essential   Fast working tree state format
    High        Tags for Bazaar
    High        Submit changes by mail
    Medium      Supporting nested trees in Bazaar
    Medium      Support path kind changing without delete and add pairs


  The seperate help topics branch (#42714) and the bzrlib.urllib.keepalive
  one (see below).


I'd like to hear what people think they can get done on time (remember,
feature freeze is on the 20th), or patches I've overlooked that should
really get merged in 0.13. Any feedback is welcomed, really!
