5 +What's cooking in git/spearce.git (Oct 2008, #02; Sun, 12)
6 +--------------------------------------------------
7 +
8 +Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
9 +with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
10 +in 'next'.
11 +
12 +The topics list the commits in reverse chronological order. The topics
13 +meant to be merged to the maintenance series have "maint-" in their names.
14 +
15 +gitster's back and I'm expecting he will take over from here.
16 +
17 +----------------------------------------------------------------
18 +[New Topics]
19 +
20 +* dp/checkattr (Tue Oct 7 04:16:52 2008 +0400) 2 commits
21 + + check-attr: Add --stdin option
22 + + check-attr: add an internal check_attr() function
23 +
24 +Batch attr lookup via --stdin, for gitk and git-gui.
25 +
26 +* mv/clonev (Thu Oct 9 01:40:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
27 + + Implement git clone -v
28 +
29 +Does what it says it does. This may be ready for master soon,
30 +its a pretty trivial change.
31 +
32 +* gb/refactor-pathinfo (Fri Oct 10 20:42:26 2008 +0200) 1 commit
33 + + gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation
34 +
35 +A major cleanup on the way gitweb parses its input arguments.
36 +Future gitweb patches to add more arguments into the PATH_INFO
37 +depend upon this initial cleanup work.
38 +
39 +* ml/cygwin-filemode (Sun Oct 12 14:44:46 2008 -0400) 1 commit
40 + - compat/cygwin.c - Use cygwin's stat if core.filemode == true
41 +
42 +I think another version may be coming to reuse the core.filemode
43 +parsing so this patch isn't in next yet.
44 +
45 +* sh/rebase-i-p (Wed Oct 8 01:41:57 2008 -0500) 7 commits
46 + - rebase-i-p: if todo was reordered use HEAD as the rewritten parent
47 + - rebase-i-p: do not include non-first-parent commits touching
48 + UPSTREAM
49 + - rebase-i-p: only list commits that require rewriting in todo
50 + - rebase-i-p: fix 'no squashing merges' tripping up non-merges
51 + - rebase-i-p: delay saving current-commit to REWRITTEN if squashing
52 + - rebase-i-p: use HEAD for updating the ref instead of mapping
53 + OLDHEAD
54 + - rebase-i-p: test to exclude commits from todo based on its parents
55 +
56 +Changes the `rebase -i -p` behavior to behave like git sequencer's
57 +rewrite of `rebase -i` would behave. Its parked in pu because I
58 +have not had the time to review the series in detail. First glance
59 +looked OK to me.
60 +
61 +* js/keephardlinks (Sat Oct 11 13:45:13 2008 +0200) 1 commit
62 + - Introduce core.keepHardLinks
63 +
64 +The value of this change is currently in question, and the commit
65 +message doesn't justify it very well.
66 +
67 +* jn/gitweb-customlinks (Sun Oct 12 00:02:32 2008 +0200) 1 commit
68 + - gitweb: Better processing format string in custom links in navbar
69 +
70 +Waiting for some sort of response from Pasky.

95 +

97 + + cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat
98 + + mingw: move common functionality to win32.h
99 + + add have_git_dir() function
100 +
101 +Performance improvement for Cygwin, bypassing the Cygwin stat
102 +function and using one more like MinGW uses. Probably ready for
103 +master on the next round. Several Cygwin users have given praise
104 +to the series.
105 +
106 +* js/objc-funchdr (Wed Oct 1 00:46:34 2008 +0100) 1 commit

148 + + git-stash.sh: fix flawed fix of invalid ref handling (commit
149 + da65e7c1)
150 +
151 +The latter three were merged to 'maint' first.

154 +[Old New Topics]
155 +
156 +* ns/rebase-noverify (Mon Oct 6 14:14:29 2008 +0900) 1 commit
157 + + rebase --no-verify
158 +
159 +This adds --no-verify to git rebase, to avoid the pre-rebase hook.
160 +Lacks documentation but otherwise looks sound.
161 +
162 +* mv/merge-noff (Fri Oct 3 14:04:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
163 + + builtin-commit: use reduce_heads() only when appropriate
164 +
165 +Fixes "git merge --no-ff --no-commit".
166 +
167 +* ae/preservemerge (Mon Sep 29 22:28:57 2008 +0200) 1 commit
168 + + rebase: Support preserving merges in non-interactive mode
169 +
170 +* sh/maint-rebase3 (Sun Oct 5 23:26:52 2008 -0500) 1 commit
171 + - rebase--interactive: fix parent rewriting for dropped commits
172 +
173 +A prior version of sh/rebase-i-p. This should be dropped.
174 +
175 +* pb/rename-rowin32 (Fri Oct 3 12:20:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
176 + - Do not rename read-only files during a push
177 +
178 +Supposedly fixes pack file renames on Windows, but it makes the
179 +test suite fail on Linux. I haven't debugged why yet. Its very
180 +likely we need a replacement patch before this can move forward.
181 +
182 +* sp/describe-lwtag (Tue Sep 30 12:03:41 2008 -0700) 1 commit
183 + - describe: Make --tags and --all match lightweight tags more often
184 +
185 +Based on feedback from the list this needs another spin. I will
186 +post a replacement patch soon.
187 +
188 +* gb/formatpatch-autonbr (Thu Oct 2 16:55:39 2008 -0400) 1 commit
189 + - format-patch: autonumber by default
190 +
191 +Fails the test suite; some of the test vectors need to be updated
192 +to account for the new default. Someone who cares about this
193 +change should follow through on the test suite update, or this may
194 +get dropped.
195 +
196 +* jc/merge-whitespace (Sun Feb 24 23:29:36 2008 -0800) 1 commit
197 + . WIP: start teaching the --whitespace=fix to merge machinery
198 +
199 +This has a merge conflict with `next` and isn't even in pu right now.
200 +
201 +* jk/diff-convfilter (Sun Oct 5 17:43:45 2008 -0400) 4 commits
202 + - diff: add filter for converting binary to text
203 + - diff: introduce diff.<driver>.binary
204 + - diff: unify external diff and funcname parsing code
205 + - t4012: use test_cmp instead of cmp
206 +
207 +A general cleanup on how diff drivers are implemented. Its still
208 +missing documentation updates and tests but doesn't break anything
209 +current as far as I can tell. It needs more review before it can
210 +be slated for 'next'.
211 +
212 +----------------------------------------------------------------
213 +[Stuck Topics]
214 +
215 +* nd/narrow (Wed Oct 1 11:04:09 2008 +0700) 9 commits
216 + - grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area
217 + - checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
218 + - Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse
219 + checkout
220 + - ls-files: Add tests for --sparse and friends
221 + - update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
222 + CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
223 + - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
224 + - ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout
225 + - Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
226 + - Extend index to save more flags
227 +
228 +Recently updated with a repost. I've been too swamped at day-job
229 +to actively review the series. There has been some discussion on
230 +list about it so its not stalled, but it needs more eyeballs.
231 +
232 +* gb/gitweb-pathinfo (Thu Oct 2 02:10:34 2008 +0200) 6 commits
233 + . gitweb: generate parent..current URLs
234 + . gitweb: parse parent..current syntax from pathinfo
235 + . gitweb: use_pathinfo filenames start with /
236 + . gitweb: generate project/action/hash URLs
237 + . gitweb: refactor input parameters parse/validation
238 + . gitweb: parse project/action/hash_base:filename PATH_INFO
239 +
240 +Still going through revisions on the git ML. Its great work and
241 +is heading in the right direction. But the discussion and patch
242 +generation rate is too high to merge the topic into next just yet.
243 +
244 +So its waiting for a re-roll of the series once discussion settles
245 +down and there is a final patch series available.

252 +
253 +Still waiting for a reroll. Should be dropped next week if we
254 +don't get one during this coming week.
255 +
256 +* bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits

293 + a good starting point, possibly others to add other recommended
