6 +What's cooking in git.git (Mar 2009, #04; Sat, 14)
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.
16 +
17 +----------------------------------------------------------------
18 +[New Topics]
19 +
20 +* bw/autoconf (Thu Mar 12 15:20:12 2009 -0400) 7 commits
21 + - configure: rework pthread handling to allow for user defined flags
22 + - configure: make iconv tests aware of user arguments
23 + - configure: asciidoc version test cleanup
24 + - configure: wrap some library tests with GIT_STASH_FLAGS
25 + - configure: add macros to stash FLAG variables
26 + - configure: reorganize flow of argument checks
27 + - configure: ensure settings from user are also usable in the script
28 +
29 +Looked quite expertly done but I do not use autoconf myself, so I'd merge
30 +this to 'next' soon and see anybody screams.
31 +
32 +* jc/maint-1.6.0-read-tree-overlay (Thu Mar 12 00:02:12 2009 -0700) 1 commit

34 +
35 +* fg/push-default (Wed Mar 11 23:01:45 2009 +0100) 1 commit
36 + - New config push.default to decide default behavior for push
37 +
38 +Replaced the old series with the first step to allow a smooth transition.
39 +Some might argue that this should not give any warning but just give users
40 +this new configuration to play with first, and after we know we are going
41 +to switch default some day, start the warning.
42 +

168 +* jc/commit-assume-also-during-merge (Thu Jan 22 22:21:49 2009 -0800) 3 commits
169 + . git commit: pathspec without -i/-o implies -i semantics during a
170 + merge
171 + . builtin-commit: shorten eye-sore overlong lines
172 + . Add "partial commit" tests during a conflicted merge

178 +
179 +* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
180 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
181 +
182 +The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
183 +suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
184 +out of 'next'
185 +
186 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 01:52:06 2009 +0100) 1 commit
187 + - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]
188 +
189 +Discussion stalled on the submodule selection criteria.
190 +
191 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
192 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
193 +
194 +This is a feature waiting for a user.
195 +
196 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
197 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
198 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
199 +data in the canonical repository representation.
200 +
201 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
202 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
203 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
204 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
205 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
206 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
207 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
208 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
209 +in binary mode as well.
210 +
211 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
212 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
213 + - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
214 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
215 +
216 +The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
217 +think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
218 +the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
219 +
220 +* cc/replace (Mon Feb 2 06:13:06 2009 +0100) 11 commits
221 + - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages
222 + - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"
223 + - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace
224 + - Add new "git replace" command
225 + - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
226 + - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
227 + - replace_object: add a test case
228 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
229 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
230 + - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
231 + "refs/replace/"
232 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function

292 + + stat_tracking_info(): only count real commits
293 +
294 +This gives the merge commits zero weight when talking about how many
295 +commits you have ahead (or behind) of the branch you are tracking. Even
296 +though I agree that they should carry much less weight than the "real"
297 +commits, because your repeated merge from the other branch does not really
298 +add any real value to the end result, giving them absolute zero weight
299 +somehow feels wrong. At least it shows that your have been _active_ on the
300 +branch. But I do not feel very strongly about it.
