+What's cooking in git.git (Nov 2008, #01; Sun, 02)
7
+--------------------------------------------------
8
+
9
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
10
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
11
+in 'next'.
12
+
13
+The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
14
+meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.

+
16
+----------------------------------------------------------------
17
+[New Topics]
18
+
19
+* mv/maint-branch-m-symref (Sat Nov 1 00:25:44 2008 +0100) 5 commits
20
+ + update-ref --no-deref -d: handle the case when the pointed ref is
21
+ packed
22
+ + git branch -m: forbid renaming of a symref
23
+ + Fix git update-ref --no-deref -d.
24
+ + rename_ref(): handle the case when the reflog of a ref does not
25
+ exist
26
+ + Fix git branch -m for symrefs.
27
+
28
+* rs/blame (Sat Oct 25 15:31:36 2008 +0200) 5 commits
29
+ - blame: use xdi_diff_hunks(), get rid of struct patch
30
+ - add xdi_diff_hunks() for callers that only need hunk lengths
31
+ - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
32
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
33
+ - blame: inline get_patch()
34
+
35
+* ds/uintmax-config (Sun Oct 26 03:52:47 2008 -0800) 2 commits
36
+ - Add Makefile check for FreeBSD 4.9-SECURITY
37
+ - Build: add NO_UINTMAX_T to support ancient systems
38
+
39
+I amended the topmost one to widen the applicability of this new feature
40
+to all FreeBSD 4.*, not limited to 4.9-SECURITY; testing before this hits
41
+'next' is appreciated.
42
+
43
+* ds/autoconf (Sun Nov 2 01:04:46 2008 -0700) 2 commits
44
+ - DONTMERGE: fixup with a convenience macro
45
+ - autoconf: Add link tests to each AC_CHECK_FUNC() test
46
+
47
+The topmost one is my attempt to simplify the new way of checking; the
48
+resulting configure.ac produces the identical configure script with or
49
+without it, so I think it is Ok, but testing before this hits 'next' is
50
+appreciated. If all goes well, I think the two should be squashed into
51
+one patch.
52
+
53
+* jk/diff-convfilter-test-fix (Fri Oct 31 01:09:13 2008 -0400) 4 commits
54
+ + Avoid using non-portable `echo -n` in tests.
55
+ + add userdiff textconv tests
56
+ + document the diff driver textconv feature
57
+ + diff: add missing static declaration
58
+
59
+* ar/maint-mksnpath (Mon Oct 27 11:22:09 2008 +0100) 7 commits
60
+ + Use git_pathdup instead of xstrdup(git_path(...))
61
+ + git_pathdup: returns xstrdup-ed copy of the formatted path
62
+ + Fix potentially dangerous use of git_path in ref.c
63
+ + Add git_snpath: a .git path formatting routine with output buffer
64
+ + Fix potentially dangerous uses of mkpath and git_path
65
+ + Fix mkpath abuse in dwim_ref and dwim_log of sha1_name.c
66
+ + Add mksnpath which allows you to specify the output buffer
67
+
68
+* ar/mksnpath (Thu Oct 30 18:08:58 2008 -0700) 10 commits
69
+ + Merge branch 'ar/maint-mksnpath' into ar/mksnpath
70
+ + Use git_pathdup instead of xstrdup(git_path(...))
71
+ + git_pathdup: returns xstrdup-ed copy of the formatted path
72
+ + Fix potentially dangerous use of git_path in ref.c
73
+ + Add git_snpath: a .git path formatting routine with output buffer
74
+ + Fix potentially dangerous uses of mkpath and git_path
75
+ + Merge branch 'ar/maint-mksnpath' into HEAD
