5 +What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #04; Mon, 22)
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 +I'll be on vacation til Oct 08; proposal/review/discussion/improvement
16 +cycle based on e-mails and the distributed nature of git mean that it
17 +shouldn't keep the participants from further improving the system. I've
18 +asked Shawn to look after in-flight patches during the time, so hopefully
19 +when I come back I'll see a much better git ;-).
20 +
21 +----------------------------------------------------------------
22 +[New Topics]
23 +
24 +* nd/narrow (Sun Sep 14 20:07:59 2008 +0700) 9 commits
25 + - grep: skip files that have not been checked out
26 + - checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
27 + - Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside narrow
28 + checkout
29 + - Add tests for updating no-checkout entries in index
30 + - ls-files: add --narrow-checkout option to "will checkout" entries
31 + - update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
32 + CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
33 + - update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
34 + - Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
35 + - Extend index to save more flags
36 +
37 +This is an early half of the earlier series (I haven't had chance to look
38 +at the updated series yet), and should be replaced with the updated one
39 +posted recently.
40 +
41 +----------------------------------------------------------------
42 +[Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)]
43 +
44 +* pb/submodule (Fri Sep 12 23:09:19 2008 +0200) 1 commit
45 + - t7400: Add short "git submodule add" testsuite
46 +
47 +Waiting for a reroll.
48 +
49 +* bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits
50 + - Use xdiff caching to improve git blame performance
51 + - Allow xdiff machinery to cache hash results for a file
52 + - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
53 + - Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame
54 + - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
55 +
56 +Réne had good comments on how the callback should be structured.
57 +
58 +* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
59 + - git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
60 +
61 +I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops with
62 +conflicts.

192 +[Actively Cooking]
193 +
194 +* tr/workflow-doc (Sat Sep 13 18:11:01 2008 +0200) 2 commits
195 + + Documentation: Refer to git-rebase(1) to warn against rewriting
196 + + Documentation: new upstream rebase recovery section in git-rebase
197 +
198 +My impression from the last round of discusson on the third patch in this
199 +series (not queued here) was that as long as we do not present it as "One
200 +True Workflow", the description was a good starting point, possibly others
201 +to add other recommended flows later.
202 +
203 +* pb/commit-where (Mon Sep 8 01:05:41 2008 +0200) 1 commit
204 + + builtin-commit.c: show on which branch a commit was added
205 +
206 +Tentatively kicked back to "still cooking" status after Jeff voiced his
207 +annoyance. I personally do not like making this multi-line as Jeff
208 +suggested as an alternative (the message already is too verbose to my
209 +taste).
210 +
211 +* lt/time-reject-fractional-seconds (Sat Aug 16 21:25:40 2008 -0700) 1 commit
212 + + date/time: do not get confused by fractional seconds
213 +
214 +* jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 1 commit
215 + + git-add --intent-to-add (-N)
216 +
217 +Teaches "git add" to record only the intent to add a path later.
218 +I rerolled this without the fake empty blob object.
219 +
220 +* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 2 commits
221 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
222 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
223 +
224 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.
225 +
226 +----------------------------------------------------------------
227 +[On Hold]
228 +
229 +* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
230 + - git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
231 + - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
232 + - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
233 + lines
234 + - stripspace: use parse_options()
235 + - Add "git am -s" test
236 + - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer
237 +
238 +The one at second from the tip needs reworking.
239 +
240 +* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
241 + - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
242 +
243 +* jc/merge-whitespace (Sun Feb 24 23:29:36 2008 -0800) 1 commit
244 + - WIP: start teaching the --whitespace=fix to merge machinery
245 +
246 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
247 + - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
248 + format
249 + - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
250 +
251 +* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
252 + + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
253 + variables
254 +
255 +This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
256 +that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
257 +that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
258 +in 1.7.0, but with the loud whining about moving git-foo out of $PATH we
259 +have been hearing, it might not be a bad idea to drop this.
260 +
261 +* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
262 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
263 + asked for
264 +
265 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
266 +hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
