+What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #07; Wed, 28)

+--------------------------------------------------

+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.

+* jc/maint-1.6.0-split-diff-metainfo (Mon Jan 26 00:08:24 2009 -0800) 1 commit
21
+ + diff.c: output correct index lines for a split diff
22
+
23
+This is slated for maintenance series 1.6.0.X, 1.6.1.X and also for
24
+'master'. I think the change is pretty safe and sane to go directly to
25
+'master' but I had too many other topoics to look at that I did not feel
26
+comfortable enough to do so.

+
28

53
+
54
+This is a small follow-up to the fix to send-pack in 1.6.1; meant to go in
55
+1.6.1.X maintenance series and newer.
56

57
+* am/maint-push-doc (Mon Jan 26 00:45:33 2009 +0100) 3 commits
58
+ + Documentation: rework src/dst description in git push
59
+ + Documentation: more git push examples
60
+ + Documentation: simplify refspec format description
61

62
+* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
63
+ - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
64
+
65
+We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
66
+using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
67
+rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
68
+data in the canonical repository representation.
69
+
70
+rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
71
+files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
72
+tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
73
+representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
74
+representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
75
+read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
76
+canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
77
+the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
78
+in binary mode as well.
79
+
80
+* jc/maint-add-u-remove-conflicted (Wed Jan 28 14:24:53 2009 -0800) 1 commit
81
+ - add -u: do not fail to resolve a path as deleted
82
+
83
+This has been updated from the posted version with a correction.
84
+
85
+* ns/am-slacker (Sat Jan 24 10:18:02 2009 +0900) 2 commits
86
+ + git-am: Add --ignore-date option
87
+ + am: Add --committer-date-is-author-date option
88
+
89
+It is a (probably) useful new feature with a sort-of cute explanation.

91
+* jc/maint-apply-fix (Sun Jan 25 23:41:26 2009 -0800) 1 commit

97
+
98
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
99
+ + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
100
+ format
101
+ + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
102
+
103
+This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
104
+the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
105
+rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
106
+may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
107
+need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
108
+
109
+* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
110
+ - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
111
+ - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
112
+ - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
113
+
114
+The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
115
+think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
116
+the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
117
+
118
+* cc/replace (Fri Jan 23 10:07:46 2009 +0100) 7 commits
119
+ - environment: add global variable to disable replacement
120
+ - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
121
+ - replace_object: add a test case
122
+ - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1
123
+ - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function
124
+ - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in
125
+ "refs/replace/"
126
+ - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function
127
+
128
+Nobody has review comments on this yet.

+
130
+* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 01:52:06 2009 +0100) 6 commits
131
+ - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]
132
+ - tree.c: allow read_tree_recursive() to traverse gitlink entries
133
+ + Revert round #1 of the series
134
+ + builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
135

141
+* mh/unify-color (Fri Jan 23 01:25:23 2009 -0800) 3 commits
142
+ ? Revert previous two commits
143
+ ? move the color variables to color.c
144
+ ? handle color.ui at a central place
145

146

172
+ + Add a script to edit/inspect notes
173
+ + Introduce commit notes
174
+
175
+It would be nice to hear a real world success story using the notes
176
+mechanism; Dscho says he also wants to make sure the current choice
177
+of the structure scales well before casting it in stone.

+Folks at Github found that v1.6.1 clients barf when pushing over git
15
+protocol to v1.6.1 server if (1) the repository pushed into borrows
16
+objects from another repository, and (2) the repository that lends the
17
+objects has updates the pusher does not have. The 'maint' branch has a
18
+fix for it which 1.6.1.2 will contain when it comes out.
19
+
20
