3 +X-master-at: f324cb50be3d88c6fb6123c85da749695a749f60

6 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2009, #06; Sun, 30)

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 +After the 1.6.5 cycle, the next release will be 1.7.0, and we will push

15 +out the planned "push safety" change. 1.7.0 would be a good time to

16 +introduce "justifiable" changes that are not strictly backward compatible.

17 +

18 +During 1.6.5 cycle, 'next' will hold topics meant for 1.6.5 and 1.7.0.

19 +

20 +--------------------------------------------------

87 +[New Topics]

88 +

89 +* jc/upload-pack-hook (2009-08-28) 2 commits

90 + - upload-pack: feed "kind [clone|fetch]" to post-upload-pack hook

91 + - upload-pack: add a trigger for post-upload-pack hook

92 +

93 +I do not know if the distinction between fetching some but not all refs

94 +and fetching full set of refs into an empty repository is something worth

95 +making, so in that sense the tip commit is somewhat iffy.

96 +

97 +One reason this series makes me somewhat uneasy is that Tom, the original

98 +starter of the discussion went dark after sending a proposed patch. Maybe

99 +he has been too busy, but I have been hoping that GitHub as a stakeholder

100 +has somebody who monitors the list when he is not available.

101 +

102 +Does anybody from GitHub have any input? Is there something that needs to

103 +be improved to fill GitHub's needs? Does GitHub want to stick to its own

104 +fork, and were all these discussions for improvements unwanted?

105 +

106 +* jk/clone-b (2009-08-26) 1 commit

107 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at 10a68d1)

108 + + clone: add --branch option to select a different HEAD

109 +

110 +* pk/import-dirs (2009-08-24) 1 commit

111 + - Add script for importing bits-and-pieces to Git.

112 +

113 +This version makes me suspect that the author might regret the choice of

114 +the import format that does not allow escaping of paths, nor does not

115 +allow leading blanks for readability without changing semantics, both of

116 +which make it somewhat limiting and error prone. These issues will be

117 +hard to rectify without breaking the backward compatibility, for a tool

118 +that could otherwise turn out to be useful.

119 +

120 +As a contrib/ material, I probably shouldn't be too worried about these

121 +issues, but I am keeping this out of 'next' for now, just in case the

122 +author chooses to polish the usability of the tool for general audience.

123 +

124 +It is a different story if the submission was just throwing out a one-time

125 +hack in the open in the hope that some other people might find it useful,

126 +but without any intention of maintaining it. But then I do not have a

127 +strong reason to keep this in my tree, either. The mailing list archive

128 +is a more suitable storage media for such a patch.

129 +

130 +--------------------------------------------------

131 +[Stalled]

132 +

133 +* jh/notes (2009-08-27) 12 commits.

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

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

136 + - notes.c: Implement simple memory pooling of leaf nodes

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

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

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

142 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes

143 + - Speed up git notes lookup

144 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes

145 + - Introduce commit notes

146 +

147 +I heard the cvs-helper series depends on this one. It seems that the

148 +fan-out strategy is being rethought?

149 +

150 +* js/stash-dwim (2009-07-27) 1 commit.

151 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-16 at 67896c4)

152 + + Make 'git stash -k' a short form for 'git stash save --keep-index'

153 + (this branch is used by tr/reset-checkout-patch.)

154 +

155 +* tr/reset-checkout-patch (2009-08-27) 9 commits.

156 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-27 at d314281)

157 + + Make test case number unique

158 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-18 at e465bb3)

159 + + tests: disable interactive hunk selection tests if perl is not available

160 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-16 at 67896c4)

161 + + DWIM 'git stash save -p' for 'git stash -p'

162 + + Implement 'git stash save --patch'

163 + + Implement 'git checkout --patch'

164 + + Implement 'git reset --patch'

165 + + builtin-add: refactor the meat of interactive_add()

166 + + Add a small patch-mode testing library

167 + + git-apply--interactive: Refactor patch mode code

168 + (this branch uses js/stash-dwim.)

169 +

170 +There was a discussion on better DWIMmery for the above two topics to (1)

171 +forbid "git stash save --anything-with-dash" and (2) redirect with any

172 +option "git stash --opt" to "git stash save --opt", to keep it flexible

173 +and safe at the same time. I think it is a sane thing to do, but nothing

174 +has happened lately.

175 +

176 +* db/vcs-helper (2009-08-09) 17 commits

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

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

179 + - Add support for "import" helper command

180 + - transport-helper_init(): fix a memory leak in error path

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

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

183 + - Allow fetch to modify refs

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

185 + - Use a clearer style to issue commands to remote helpers

186 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-07 at f3533ba)

187 + + Makefile: install hardlinks for git-remote-<scheme> supported by libcurl if possible

188 + + Makefile: do not link three copies of git-remote-* programs

189 + + Makefile: git-http-fetch does not need expat

190 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-06 at 15da79d)

191 + + http-fetch: Fix Makefile dependancies

192 + + Add transport native helper executables to .gitignore

193 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-05 at 33d491e)

194 + + git-http-fetch: not a builtin

195 + + Use an external program to implement fetching with curl

196 + + Add support for external programs for handling native fetches

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

198 +

199 +We had a few messages on what the list consensus was with this series. My

200 +impression, after going back to the archive, is that there wasn't.

201 +

202 +* jn/gitweb-blame (2009-08-06) 3 commits

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

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

215 +

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

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

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

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

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

221 +

222 +* lt/approxidate (2009-08-30) 6 commits

223 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-30 at e016e3d)

224 + + fix approxidate parsing of relative months and years

225 + + tests: add date printing and parsing tests

226 + + refactor test-date interface

227 + + Add date formatting and parsing functions relative to a given time

228 + (merged to 'next' on 2009-08-26 at 62853f9)

229 + + Further 'approxidate' improvements

230 + + Improve on 'approxidate'

231 +

232 +Fixes a few "reasonably formatted but thus-far misparsed" date strings.

244 + + am/mailinfo: Disable scissors processing by default

245 + + Documentation: describe the scissors mark support of "git am"

246 + + Teach mailinfo to ignore everything before -- >8 -- mark

247 + + builtin-mailinfo.c: fix confusing internal API to mailinfo()

248 +

249 +I didn't pick up the patch to simplify the definition of scissors. I do

250 +not have strong opinion on it either way, but the list would hopefully

251 +decide it before too long.

289 +Builds on db/vcs-helper (which is stalled, so this cannot move further at

290 +the moment). There is a re-roll planned, so I did not pick up test fixes

291 +from Brandon myself.

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

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