Thanks (and that wasn't a grumble, just a point of information)

I feel that I have settled into a rut.  My topic workflow works
fairly well, so I'm not really working on cleaning any remaining
rough edges.  It will be good to have some other eyes (especially
some eyes that have been keeping a close eye on all the new features
that have been added to the rest of git) looking at this.

At the end of the using-topic-branches file there is an example
"status" script.  My real script has had some updates (see attached)
that reports on extra bits (like whether Linus as made new packfiles
that I should pull down). And ignoring some special (to me) branch
names when reporting.  But it has lots of hard-coded paths for my
workflow. Branches "linus", "release" and "test" are very special.
I have no "master" or "origin" branches at all.  But the net output
seems to be what you want ... for each topic branch it reports
whether that branch has already been merged to the test/release/linus
branches, and whether I have commits in my release branch that are
not in test.
