6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jun 2009, #03; Sat, 27)
7 +--------------------------------------------------
8 +
9 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed with '-' are
10 +only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are in 'next'. The ones
11 +marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches, but I am still
12 +holding onto them.
13 +
14 +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
15 +meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

97 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
98 +
99 +* jh/notes (Sat May 16 13:44:17 2009 +0200) 5 commits
100 + - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"
101 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes
102 + - Speed up git notes lookup
103 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
104 + - Introduce commit notes
105 +
106 +Dscho asked about the performance implications of this; I do not think I
107 +saw any progress on that yet...
108 +
109 +* lt/read-directory (Fri May 15 12:01:29 2009 -0700) 3 commits
110 + - Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8
111 + - read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set
112 + conversion
113 + - Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
114 +
115 +Before adding the real "conversion", this needs a few real fixups, I
116 +think. For example there is one hardcoded array that is used without
117 +bounds check.
118 +
119 +* ar/maint-1.6.2-merge-recursive-d-f (Mon May 11 21:25:36 2009 +0200) 2 commits
120 + - Fix for a merge where a branch has an F->D transition
121 + - Add a reminder test case for a merge with F/D transition
122 +
123 +Although the reported breakage is covered with the patch, Alex feels the
124 +solution unsatisfactory. Cleaning up D/F conflict handling in merge-recursive
125 +may be long overdue but seems to be a hard problem.
126 +
127 +* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
128 + - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
129 +
130 +A few minor point remains in this initial one.
131 +
132 +* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
133 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
134 +
135 +The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
136 +suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
137 +out of 'next'
138 +
139 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
140 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
141 +
142 +This is a feature waiting for a user.
143 +
144 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
145 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
146 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
147 +data in the canonical repository representation.
148 +
149 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
150 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
151 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
152 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
153 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
154 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
155 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
156 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
157 +in binary mode as well.
158 +
159 +* db/foreign-scm (Tue Mar 24 23:04:12 2009 -0400) 3 commits
160 + - Add option for using a foreign VCS
161 + - Document details of transport function APIs
162 + - Allow late reporting of fetched hashes
163 +
164 +* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
165 + - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
166 + - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
167 + branches
168 + - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
169 + - Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
170 + - Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
171 + - Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
172 + - Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
173 + - Start a library for cvsimport-related tests

179 + + diff-tree -r -t: include added/removed directories in the output
180 +
181 +This changes the output from "diff-tree -r -t"; it brings more consistency
182 +to it, but it is a change and could break scripts.
183 +
184 +* uk/rev-parse-parse-opt (Sun Jun 14 01:58:43 2009 +0200) 2 commits
185 + + parse-opt: make PARSE_OPT_STOP_AT_NON_OPTION available to git rev-
186 + parse
187 + + more tests for git rev-parse --parse-opt

209 +
210 +* cc/bisect (Sat Jun 13 13:11:02 2009 +0200) 2 commits
211 + + Documentation: remove warning saying that "git bisect skip" may
212 + slow bisection
213 + + bisect: use a PRNG with a bias when skipping away from untestable
214 + commits
215 +
216 +* tr/die_errno (Sat Jun 27 17:58:47 2009 +0200) 4 commits
217 + - Use die_errno() instead of die() when checking syscalls
218 + - Convert existing die(..., strerror(errno)) to die_errno()
219 + - die_errno(): double % in strerror() output just in case
220 + - Introduce die_errno() that appends strerror(errno) to die()
221 +
222 +I didn't check the individual conversion from die() to die_errno()
223 +in this latest round; comments?
224 +
225 +* ne/futz-upload-pack (Wed Jun 10 01:50:18 2009 +0200) 1 commit
226 + - Shift object enumeration out of upload-pack
227 +
228 +* ml/http (Wed May 27 23:16:03 2009 -0400) 2 commits
229 + - http.c: add http.sslCertPasswordProtected option
230 + - http.c: prompt for SSL client certificate password
231 +
232 +I've rewritten these two to (1) move the #ifdef out of the main codepath,
233 +and (2) use configuration/environment to make the misfeature of always
234 +asking for a passphrase even a key/cert is unencrypted optional. I tried
235 +to be careful but extra sets of eyeballs would be nice to check the result.
236 +
237 +* gb/am-foreign (Wed May 27 11:25:19 2009 +0200) 4 commits

246 + - diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK
247 + - diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options
248 +
249 +I am not sure if it should wait for a major version bump but this is a
250 +good semantics change. Perhaps merge to 'next' soonish, but I am
251 +undecided. Comments?
252 +
253 +* cc/replace (Wed May 27 07:14:09 2009 +0200) 14 commits
254 + - t6050: check pushing something based on a replaced commit
255 + - Documentation: add documentation for "git replace"
256 + - Add git-replace to .gitignore
257 + - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
258 + - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
259 + - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace

263 + - replace_object: add a test case
264 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
265 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
