Pushing candidates

[Akim Demaille]

Hi all,

I have plenty of changes on my machine that I would like
to push.  I have to clean them, in particular I have to
write ChangeLog entries (there is just the git log) if we
really want to maintain the file ChangeLog.  In addition,
most of these changes should go into post-2.4.  So I
don't want to push into master.

But I can't push them in some new branch.  Any idea?
The message is a bit terse.

> address@hidden ~/src/urbi/2.0/bison $ git push -v fsf master:refs/ 
> heads/make-symbol
> Pushing to git://git.sv.gnu.org/bison
> Looking up git.sv.gnu.org ... done.
> Connecting to git.sv.gnu.org (port 9418) ... 199.232.41.69 done.
> fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
> address@hidden ~/src/urbi/2.0/bison $ git --version
> git version 1.6.0.1.90.g27a6e

There is also one quite large change of lalr1.cc that I'm
not sure I will be able to split easily.  It is the result
of several incremental changes and some deep implementation
changes that have been squashed together.

The titles of the changes:

 > bench.pl -d, --directive.
 > Use inlune for small operations.
 > Introduce a hierarchy for symbols.
 > Rename data_type and stack_symbol_type.
 > Handle semantic value and location together.
 > Push a complete symbol, not connected parts.
 > Agregate yylval and yylloc.
 > Rely on the state stack to display reduction traces.
 > Fuse yyval and yyloc into yylhs.
 > Moving push traces into yypush_.
 > The single-stack C++ parser is now the standard one.
 > Avoid empty-if warnings.
 > Regen.
 > Pass command line location to skeleton_arg and language_argmatch.
 > -D, --define.
 > Initialize the muscle table before parsing the command line.

 > Add documentation to bench.pl.
 > A polymorphic YYSTYPE for C++ (instead of the %union).
 > Make gnulib a submodule.

As an example, here is a example of a C++ parser that can
use objects.  See the yylex interface too.
