6 +What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2009, #04; Wed, 16)

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 integration branches, but I am

12 +still holding onto them.

13 +

14 +In 1.7.0, we plan to correct handful of warts in the interfaces everybody

15 +agrees that they were mistakes. The resulting system may not be strictly

16 +backward compatible. Currently planeed changes are:

17 +

18 + * refuse push to update the checked out branch in a non-bare repo by

19 + default

20 +

21 + Make "git push" into a repository to update the branch that is checked

22 + out fail by default. You can countermand this default by setting a

23 + configuration variable in the receiving repository.

24 +

25 + http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/107758/focus=108007

26 +

27 + * refuse push to delete the current branch by default

28 +

29 + Make "git push $there :$killed" to delete the branch that is pointed at

30 + by its HEAD fail by default. You can countermand this default by

31 + setting a configuration variable in the receiving repository.

32 +

33 + http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/108862/focus=108936

34 +

35 + * git-send-email won't make deep threads by default

36 +

37 + Many people said that by default when sending more than 2 patches the

38 + threading git-send-email makes by default is hard to read, and they

39 + prefer the default be one cover letter and each patch as a direct

40 + follow-up to the cover letter. You can countermand this by setting a

41 + configuration variable.

42 +

43 + http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/109790

44 +

45 + * git-status won't be "git-commit --dry-run" anymore

46 +

47 + http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/125989/focus=125993

48 +

49 + * "git-diff -w --exit-code" will exit success if only differences it

50 + found are whitespace changes that are stripped away from the output.

51 +

52 + http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/119731/focus=119751

53 +

54 +We are in pre-release feature freeze. 'next' will hold topics meant for

55 +1.6.6 and 1.7.0.

56 +

57 +Except for possibly gfi-options series from Sverre, and updates to

58 +subsystems (svn, gitk, gui, and gitweb) may still need to be merged in,

59 +but otherwise 'master' is ready for -rc2. I am still hoping that I can

60 +tag the final before I take a vacation starting on 24th for a week, but we

61 +may have to give the final -rc a week to shake out any possible last

62 +minute regressions and release 1.6.5 at the beginning of next month.

63 +

64 +--------------------------------------------------

65 +[Graduated to "master"]

66 +

67 +* rc/maint-http-no-head-pack-check (2009-09-14) 2 commits.

68 + + http.c: avoid freeing an uninitialized pointer

69 + + http.c: remove verification of remote packs

70 +

71 +Graduated to master and maint but then needed a small fixup.

72 +

73 +--------------------------------------------------

74 +[New Topics]

75 +

76 +* jc/maint-blank-at-eof (2009-09-15) 0 commits.

77 + (this branch uses jc/maint-1.6.0-blank-at-eof.)

78 +

79 +The series does not have a commit of its own but is a preparation for

80 +merging the original jc/1.6.0-maint-blank-at-eof topic to 'maint' and then

81 +'master'. It is a fix for longstanding bug and 1.6.5 will likely to ship

82 +without this topic.

83 +

84 +--------------------------------------------------

85 +[Stalled]

86 +

87 +* je/send-email-no-subject (2009-08-05) 1 commit

88 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at b6455c2)

89 + + send-email: confirm on empty mail subjects

90 +

91 +The existing tests to covers the positive case (i.e. as long as the user

92 +says "yes" to the "do you really want to send this message that lacks

93 +subject", the message is sent) of this feature, but the feature itself

94 +needs its own test to verify the negative case (i.e. does it correctly

95 +stop if the user says "no"?)

96 +

97 +* jh/cvs-helper (2009-08-18) 8 commits

98 + - More fixes to the git-remote-cvs installation procedure

99 + - Fix the Makefile-generated path to the git_remote_cvs package in git-remote-cvs

100 + - Add simple selftests of git-remote-cvs functionality

101 + - git-remote-cvs: Remote helper program for CVS repositories

102 + - 2/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper

103 + - 1/2: Add Python support library for CVS remote helper

104 + - Basic build infrastructure for Python scripts

105 + - Allow helpers to request marks for fast-import

106 + (this branch uses db/vcs-helper-rest.)

107 +

108 +Builds on db/vcs-helper. There is a re-roll planned.

109 +

110 +* ne/rev-cache (2009-09-07) 7 commits

111 + . support for commit grafts, slight change to general mechanism

112 + . support for path name caching in rev-cache

113 + . full integration of rev-cache into git, completed test suite

114 + . administrative functions for rev-cache, start of integration into git

115 + . support for non-commit object caching in rev-cache

116 + . basic revision cache system, no integration or features

117 + . man page and technical discussion for rev-cache

118 +

119 +Replaced but I do not think this is ready for 'pu' yet.

120 +

121 +--------------------------------------------------

122 +[Cooking]

123 +

124 +* db/vcs-helper-rest (2009-09-03) 6 commits

125 + - Allow helpers to report in "list" command that the ref is unchanged

126 + - Add support for "import" helper command

127 + - Add a config option for remotes to specify a foreign vcs

128 + - Allow programs to not depend on remotes having urls

129 + - Allow fetch to modify refs

130 + - Use a function to determine whether a remote is valid

131 + (this branch is used by jh/cvs-helper.)

132 +

133 +This holds the remainder of the db/vcs-helper topic that has already

134 +merged for 1.6.5.

135 +

136 +* jh/notes (2009-09-12) 13 commits

137 + - Selftests verifying semantics when loading notes trees with various fanouts

138 + - Teach the notes lookup code to parse notes trees with various fanout schemes

139 + - notes.[ch] fixup: avoid old-style declaration

140 + - Teach notes code to free its internal data structures on request.

141 + - Add '%N'-format for pretty-printing commit notes

142 + - Add flags to get_commit_notes() to control the format of the note string

143 + - t3302-notes-index-expensive: Speed up create_repo()

144 + - fast-import: Add support for importing commit notes

145 + - Teach "-m <msg>" and "-F <file>" to "git notes edit"

146 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes

147 + - Speed up git notes lookup

148 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes

149 + - Introduce commit notes

150 + (this branch uses sr/gfi-options.)

151 +

152 +Rerolled and queued.

153 +

154 +* jn/gitweb-show-size (2009-09-07) 1 commit

155 + - gitweb: Add 'show-sizes' feature to show blob sizes in tree view

156 +

157 +* lt/maint-traverse-trees-fix (2009-09-06) 1 commit.

158 + - Prepare 'traverse_trees()' for D/F conflict lookahead

159 +

160 +Beginning of the fix to a rather nasty longstanding issue of merging trees

161 +with ("a" "a-b"), ("a/b" "a-b") and just ("a-b"), but my reading of it is

162 +that it is just the first step to demonstrate one-entry lookahead and not

163 +a full solution yet.

164 +

165 +I started writing a replacement series but the progress is a bit slower

166 +than I would have liked.

167 +

168 +* jc/maint-1.6.0-blank-at-eof (2009-09-14) 15 commits.

169 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-15 at 9cbfa00)

170 + + diff -B: colour whitespace errors

171 + + diff.c: emit_add_line() takes only the rest of the line

172 + + diff.c: split emit_line() from the first char and the rest of the line

173 + + diff.c: shuffling code around

174 + + diff --whitespace: fix blank lines at end

175 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 165dc3c)

176 + + core.whitespace: split trailing-space into blank-at-{eol,eof}

177 + + diff --color: color blank-at-eof

178 + + diff --whitespace=warn/error: fix blank-at-eof check

179 + + diff --whitespace=warn/error: obey blank-at-eof

180 + + diff.c: the builtin_diff() deals with only two-file comparison

181 + + apply --whitespace: warn blank but not necessarily empty lines at EOF

182 + + apply --whitespace=warn/error: diagnose blank at EOF

183 + + apply.c: split check_whitespace() into two

184 + + apply --whitespace=fix: detect new blank lines at eof correctly

185 + + apply --whitespace=fix: fix handling of blank lines at the eof

186 + (this branch is used by jc/maint-blank-at-eof.)

187 +

188 +This is a fix for an ancient bug (or inconsistent set of features); the

189 +topic is based on an ancient codebase and is designed to be merged

190 +upwards. jc/maint-blank-at-eof serves that purpose.

191 +

192 +Will not be in 1.6.5.

193 +

194 +* jn/gitweb-blame (2009-09-01) 5 commits

195 + - gitweb: Minify gitweb.js if JSMIN is defined

196 + - gitweb: Create links leading to 'blame_incremental' using JavaScript

197 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 3622199)

198 + + gitweb: Colorize 'blame_incremental' view during processing

199 + + gitweb: Incremental blame (using JavaScript)

200 + + gitweb: Add optional "time to generate page" info in footer

201 +

202 +Ajax-y blame.

203 +

204 +* sr/gfi-options (2009-09-06) 6 commits

205 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 5f6b0ff)

206 + + fast-import: test the new option command

207 + + fast-import: add option command

208 + + fast-import: test the new feature command

209 + + fast-import: add feature command

210 + + fast-import: put marks reading in it's own function

211 + + fast-import: put option parsing code in separate functions

212 + (this branch is used by jh/notes.)

213 +

214 +Ping?

215 +

216 +* nd/sparse (2009-08-20) 19 commits

217 + - sparse checkout: inhibit empty worktree

218 + - Add tests for sparse checkout

219 + - read-tree: add --no-sparse-checkout to disable sparse checkout support

220 + - unpack-trees(): ignore worktree check outside checkout area

221 + - unpack_trees(): apply $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout to the final index

222 + - unpack-trees(): "enable" sparse checkout and load $GIT_DIR/info/sparse-checkout

223 + - unpack-trees.c: generalize verify_* functions

224 + - unpack-trees(): add CE_WT_REMOVE to remove on worktree alone

225 + - Introduce "sparse checkout"

226 + - dir.c: export excluded_1() and add_excludes_from_file_1()

227 + - excluded_1(): support exclude files in index

228 + - unpack-trees(): carry skip-worktree bit over in merged_entry()

229 + - Read .gitignore from index if it is skip-worktree

230 + - Avoid writing to buffer in add_excludes_from_file_1()

231 + - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (writing part)

232 + - Teach Git to respect skip-worktree bit (reading part)

233 + - Introduce "skip-worktree" bit in index, teach Git to get/set this bit

234 + - Add test-index-version

235 + - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options

236 +

237 +--------------------------------------------------

238 +[For 1.7.0]

239 +

240 +* jk/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 5 commits

241 + - docs: note that status configuration affects only long format

242 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-07 at 8a7c563)

243 + + commit: support alternate status formats

244 + + status: add --porcelain output format

245 + + status: refactor format option parsing

246 + + status: refactor short-mode printing to its own function

247 + (this branch uses jc/1.7.0-status.)

248 +

249 +Gives the --short output format to post 1.7.0 "git commit --dry-run" that

250 +is similar to that of post 1.7.0 "git status".

251 +

252 +* jc/1.7.0-status (2009-09-05) 4 commits

253 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-09-06 at 19d4beb)

254 + + status: typo fix in usage

255 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-22 at b3507bb)

256 + + git status: not "commit --dry-run" anymore

257 + + git stat -s: short status output

258 + + git stat: the beginning of "status that is not a dry-run of commit"

259 + (this branch is used by jk/1.7.0-status.)

260 +

261 +With this, "git status" is no longer "git commit --dry-run".

262 +

263 +* jc/1.7.0-send-email-no-thread-default (2009-08-22) 1 commit

264 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-22 at 5106de8)

265 + + send-email: make --no-chain-reply-to the default

266 +

267 +* jc/1.7.0-diff-whitespace-only-status (2009-08-30) 4 commits.

268 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at 0623572)

269 + + diff.c: fix typoes in comments

270 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-27 at 81fb2bd)

271 + + Make test case number unique

272 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-02 at 9c08420)

273 + + diff: Rename QUIET internal option to QUICK

274 + + diff: change semantics of "ignore whitespace" options

275 +

276 +This changes exit code from "git diff --ignore-whitespace" and friends

277 +when there is no actual output. It is a backward incompatible change, but

278 +we could argue that it is a bugfix.

279 +

280 +* jc/1.7.0-push-safety (2009-02-09) 2 commits

286 +[I have been too busy to purge these]

287 +

288 +* jc/log-tz (2009-03-03) 1 commit.

289 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected

290 +

291 +Maybe some people care about this. I dunno.

292 +

293 +* jc/mailinfo-remove-brackets (2009-07-15) 1 commit.

294 + - mailinfo: -b option keeps [bracketed] strings that is not a [PATCH] marker

299 + . Add initial support for pathname conversion to UTF-8

300 + . read_directory(): infrastructure for pathname character set conversion

301 + . Add 'fill_directory()' helper function for directory traversal
