5 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #06; Wed, 20)
6 +--------------------------------------------------
7 +
8 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
9 +with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
10 +in 'next'.
11 +
12 +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
13 +meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
14 +
15 +Today's 'pu' does not pass tests for me; it seems my box does not like new
16 +tests for gitweb somehow.
17 +
18 +By the way, here is a list of issues without any corresponding topic
19 +branches yet:
20 +
21 + * Windows relocatable install
22 +
23 + Steffen Prohaska ($gmane/92605), Johannes Sixt.
24 +
25 + * Haiku port
26 +
27 + Andreas Färber ($gmane/92582)
28 +
29 + * ksh "trap foo EXIT" triggers on function return, loses exit status
30 +
31 + Brandon Casey ($gmane/92873)
32 +
33 + * document webdav debugging tip with davfs2
34 +
35 + Giovanni Funchal ($gmane/92745)
36 +
37 + * update "rebase -i" documentation with examples
38 +
39 + Eric Hanchrow ($gmane/92669)
40 +
41 + * pre-push hook
42 +
43 + Scott Chacon ($gmane/92900, $gmane/92936)
44 +
45 +----------------------------------------------------------------
46 +[New Topics]
47 +
48 +* jc/no-slim-shell (Tue Aug 19 18:05:43 2008 -0700) 2 commits
49 + + Build-in "git-shell"
50 + + shell: do not play duplicated definition games to shrink the
51 + executable
52 +
53 +----------------------------------------------------------------
54 +[Stalled -- Needs Updates]
55 +
56 +I've moved the "Stalled" section up so that it grabs more attention from
57 +people.
58 +
59 +* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
60 + - date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
61 +
62 +Linus hints further enhancements as "the right way", so let's see if
63 +somebody else steps up and tries it before merging this to 'next'.
64 +
65 +* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
66 + - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
67 + smart HTTP transport
68 + - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
69 +
70 +The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
71 +top one queued is from before that discussion.
72 +
73 +* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
74 + - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
75 + - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
76 +
77 +The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
78 +seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
79 +an optimization only. Resend of fixed-up series is needed.
80 +
81 +----------------------------------------------------------------
82 +[Actively Cooking]
83 +
84 +* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits
85 + - configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches
86 + - Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden
87 +
88 +Needs success reports from people who do use user-defined dynamic library
89 +path when they build their "git" before this series can go anywhere.
90 +
91 +* sb/daemon (Thu Aug 14 20:02:20 2008 +0200) 4 commits
92 + - git-daemon: rewrite kindergarden, new option --max-connections
93 + - git-daemon: Simplify dead-children reaping logic
94 + - git-daemon: use LOG_PID, simplify logging code
95 + - git-daemon: call logerror() instead of error()
96 +
97 +Can somebody who actually runs the daemon standalone comment on this one?
98 +
99 +* mv/merge-recursive (Tue Aug 12 22:14:00 2008 +0200) 3 commits
100 + - Make builtin-revert.c use merge_recursive_generic()
101 + - merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
102 + - Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
103 +
104 +Miklos will be working on updates.
105 +
106 +* lw/gitweb (Mon Aug 18 21:39:49 2008 +0200) 3 commits
107 + - gitweb: use new Git::Repo API, and add optional caching
108 + - add new Perl API: Git::Repo, Git::Commit, Git::Tag, and
109 + Git::RepoRoot
110 + - gitweb: add test suite with Test::WWW::Mechanize::CGI
111 +
112 +* jc/diff-prefix (Mon Aug 18 20:08:09 2008 -0700) 1 commit
113 + - diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
114 +
115 +* sp/missing-thin-base (Tue Aug 12 11:31:06 2008 -0700) 1 commit
116 + + pack-objects: Allow missing base objects when creating thin packs
117 +
118 +* tr/filter-branch (Tue Aug 12 10:45:59 2008 +0200) 3 commits
119 + + filter-branch: use --simplify-merges
120 + + filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter
121 + + filter-branch: Extend test to show rewriting bug
122 +
123 +Fixes a longstanding filter branch bug. Success stories?
124 +
125 +* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 8 commits
126 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
127 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
128 + - revision --simplify-merges: make it a no-op without pathspec
129 + + revision --simplify-merges: do not leave commits unprocessed
130 + + revision --simplify-merges: use decoration instead of commit->util
131 + field
132 + + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
133 + + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
134 + + revision.c: whitespace fix
135 +
136 +"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
137 +than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
138 +
139 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.

162 + + add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
163 + + update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
164 +
165 +Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to
166 +add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link. We would need
167 +a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule.
168 +
169 +* mv/merge-custom (Wed Aug 13 23:32:43 2008 +0200) 7 commits
170 + + Update .gitignore to ignore git-help
171 + + Builtin git-help.

173 + + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
174 + + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
175 + + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy

188 +This one is without the human readable bits.
189 +

194 + + index: future proof for "extended" index entries
195 +
196 +* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
197 + + git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
198 + stepwise merge
199 + + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
200 + + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than

219 +* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit
220 + + tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory
221 +
222 +This does not actually move "t/test directory" any deeper, but fixes test
223 +scripts that assume they run immediately below "t/" to use TEST_DIRECTORY
224 +variable.

226 +----------------------------------------------------------------
227 +[On Hold]
228 +
229 +* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits

231 + - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
232 + - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:

243 +
244 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
245 + - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental

247 + - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
248 +
249 +* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
250 + + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
251 + variables
252 +
253 +This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
254 +that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
255 +that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
256 +in 1.7.0.
257 +
258 +* jc/dashless (Wed Jun 25 15:55:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
259 + - Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
260 +
261 +This is the "botched" one. Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
262 +timeframe.
263 +
264 +* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
265 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
266 + asked for
267 +
268 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
269 +hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
270 +
271 +----------------------------------------------------------------
272 +[Graduated to "master"]
273 +
274 +* js/mingw-stat (Mon Aug 18 22:01:06 2008 +0200) 2 commits
275 + + Revert "Windows: Use a customized struct stat that also has the
276 + st_blocks member."
277 + + compat: introduce on_disk_bytes()
278 +
279 +This gets rid of use of st_blocks member (which is XSI but not POSIX
280 +proper), which was originally prompted by recent Haiku port but it turns
281 +out MinGW has the same issue as well. Queued on 'pu' just to have a
282 +chance to make sure I munged the version j6t sent me correctly before
283 +merging it upwards.
284 +
285 +* js/checkout-dwim-local (Sat Aug 9 16:00:12 2008 +0200) 1 commit
286 + + checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was
287 + omitted
288 +
289 +Alex has update to dwim "checkout --track remotes/origin/hack" as well.
290 +
291 +* bd/diff-strbuf (Wed Aug 13 23:18:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits
292 + + xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from
293 + the caller
294 + + Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder
295 + + Make xdi_diff_outf interface for running xdiff_outf diffs
296 +
297 +Gives measurable performance improvement to textual diff generation. For
298 +improving "blame" performance, it might be more effective to hook directly
299 +to lower level of xdiff machinery so that we do not even have to generate
300 +patch only to discard after reading "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" lines, but that
301 +would be a separate topic.
302 +
303 +* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
304 + + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
305 + + add --path option to git hash-object
306 + + use parse_options() in git hash-object
307 + + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
308 + + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
309 + + teach index_fd to work with pipes
310 +
311 +Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
312 +the path the contents comes from.
313 +
314 +* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
315 + + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
316 + + imap-send.c: more style fixes

318 + + git-imap-send: Support SSL
319 + + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
320 + a git tree
321 +
322 +Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
323 +Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
324 +so inclined.
325 +
326 +* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
327 + + spawn pager via run_command interface
328 + + run-command: add pre-exec callback
329 +
330 +This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
331 +process. We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
332 +status from git is lost from the caller.
333 +
334 +* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
335 + + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.

12 +
13 +I have to say I've been very productive since 1.6.0 relase and it is _not_

19 +patches with test cases. Perhaps we would need a 1.6.0.1 this weekend.
