18 +* ak/p4 (Sun Aug 10 19:26:35 2008 +0100) 12 commits
19 + + Put in the two other configuration elements found in the source
20 + + Put some documentation in about the parameters that have been
21 + added
22 + + Move git-p4.syncFromOrigin into a configuration parameters section
23 + + Consistently use 'git-p4' for the configuration entries
24 + + If the user has configured various parameters, use them.
25 + + Switch to using 'p4_build_cmd'
26 + + If we are in verbose mode, output what we are about to run (or
27 + return)
28 + + Add a single command that will be used to construct the 'p4'
29 + command
30 + + Utilise the new 'p4_system' function.
31 + + Have a command that specifically invokes 'p4' (via system)
32 + + Utilise the new 'p4_read_pipe_lines' command
33 + + Create a specific version of the read_pipe_lines command for p4
34 + invocations
35 +
36 +Warmly received by the primary contributor of git-p4; I do not mind
37 +merging this before 1.6.0.

39 +* mv/merge-recursive (Tue Aug 12 22:14:00 2008 +0200) 3 commits
40 + - Make builtin-revert.c use merge_recursive_generic()
41 + - merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
42 + - Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
43 +
44 +I do not think builtlin-revert should use "recursive", but these patches
45 +give a good starting point to separate the bulk of the "rename-aware
46 +three-way merge" into library form.

48 +* tr/rev-list-docs (Tue Aug 12 01:55:37 2008 +0200) 1 commit

55 +* tr/filter-branch (Tue Aug 12 10:45:59 2008 +0200) 4 commits
56 + - filter-branch: use --simplify-merges

58 + - filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter

61 +* js/checkout-dwim-local (Sat Aug 9 16:00:12 2008 +0200) 1 commit
62 + + checkout --track: make up a sensible branch name if '-b' was
63 + omitted
64 +
65 +I like this low-impact usability enhancement; will most likely be in
66 +master soon after 1.6.0.
67 +
68 +* bd/diff-strbuf (Wed Aug 13 23:18:22 2008 -0700) 3 commits
69 + + xdiff-interface: hide the whole "xdiff_emit_state" business from
70 + the caller
71 + + Use strbuf for struct xdiff_emit_state's remainder
72 + + Make xdi_diff_outf interface for running xdiff_outf diffs
73 +
74 +Gives measurable performance improvement to textual diff generation. For
75 +improving "blame" performance, it might be more effective to hook directly
76 +to lower level of xdiff machinery so that we do not even have to generate
77 +patch only to discard after reading "@@ -l,k +m,n @@" lines, but that
78 +would be a separate topic.
79 +
80 +* am/cherry-pick-rerere (Sun Aug 10 17:18:55 2008 +0530) 1 commit
81 + + Make cherry-pick use rerere for conflict resolution.
