5 +What's cooking in git.git (Aug 2008, #03; Thu, 14)
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 +----------------------------------------------------------------
16 +[New Topics]
17 +
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.
38 +
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.
47 +
48 +* tr/rev-list-docs (Tue Aug 12 01:55:37 2008 +0200) 1 commit
49 + + Documentation: rev-list-options: move --simplify-merges
50 + documentation
51 +
52 +* sp/missing-thin-base (Tue Aug 12 11:31:06 2008 -0700) 1 commit
53 + + pack-objects: Allow missing base objects when creating thin packs
54 +
55 +* tr/filter-branch (Tue Aug 12 10:45:59 2008 +0200) 4 commits
56 + - filter-branch: use --simplify-merges
57 + - Merge branch 'jc/post-simplify' into tr/filter-branch
58 + - filter-branch: fix ref rewriting with --subdirectory-filter
59 + - filter-branch: Extend test to show rewriting bug
60 +
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.
82 +
83 +----------------------------------------------------------------
84 +[On Hold and/or Cooking]
85 +
86 +* jc/test-deeper (Fri Aug 8 02:26:28 2008 -0700) 1 commit
87 + - tests: use $TEST_DIRECTORY to refer to the t/ directory
88 +
89 +* kh/diff-tree (Sun Aug 10 18:13:04 2008 +0200) 4 commits
90 + + Add test for diff-tree --stdin with two trees
91 + + Teach git diff-tree --stdin to diff trees
92 + + diff-tree: Note that the commit ID is printed with --stdin
93 + + Refactoring: Split up diff_tree_stdin
94 +
95 +* js/parallel-test (Fri Aug 8 13:08:37 2008 +0200) 3 commits
96 + + Enable parallel tests
97 + + tests: Clarify dependencies between tests, 'aggregate-results' and
98 + 'clean'
99 + + t9700: remove useless check
100 +
101 +* xx/post-1.6.0 (Mon Aug 11 21:45:52 2008 -0400) 7 commits
102 + + git-submodule foreach - Include output and clarify usage.
103 + + Fix commit_tree() buffer leak
104 + + Teach git log --exit-code to return an appropriate exit code
105 + + Teach git log --check to return an appropriate exit code
106 + + git-submodule - Add 'foreach' subcommand
107 + + builtin-reflog: Allow reflog expire to name partial ref
108 + + git-am: ignore --binary option
109 +
110 +Random collection of patches to queue for post-1.6.0 development.
111 +
112 +* jc/post-simplify (Sun Aug 3 17:47:16 2008 -0700) 3 commits
113 + + Topo-sort before --simplify-merges
114 + + revision traversal: show full history with merge simplification
115 + + revision.c: whitespace fix
116 +
117 +"log --full-history" is with too much clutter, "log" itself is too cleverer
118 +than some people, and here is the middle level of merge simplification.
119 +
120 +* sp/smart-http (Sun Aug 3 00:25:17 2008 -0700) 2 commits
121 + - [do not merge -- original version] Add Git-aware CGI for Git-aware
122 + smart HTTP transport
123 + - Add backdoor options to receive-pack for use in Git-aware CGI
124 +
125 +The "magic" detection protocol was revised to use POST to info/refs; the
126 +top one queued is from before that discussion.
127 +
128 +* jc/add-stop-at-symlink (Mon Aug 4 00:52:37 2008 -0700) 2 commits
129 + + add: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
130 + + update-index: refuse to add working tree items beyond symlinks
131 +
132 +Fix for a longstanding bug that allows "git add" and "git update-index" to
133 +add a path "a/b" to the index when "a" is a symbolic link. We would need
134 +a similar fix for the case where "a" is a submodule.
135 +
136 +* dp/hash-literally (Sun Aug 3 18:36:22 2008 +0400) 6 commits
137 + + add --no-filters option to git hash-object
138 + + add --path option to git hash-object
139 + + use parse_options() in git hash-object
140 + + correct usage help string for git-hash-object
141 + + correct argument checking test for git hash-object
142 + + teach index_fd to work with pipes
143 +
144 +Gives a bit more flexibility to hash-objects by allowing us to lie about
145 +the path the contents comes from.
146 +
147 +* mv/merge-custom (Wed Aug 13 23:32:43 2008 +0200) 7 commits
148 + + Update .gitignore to ignore git-help
149 + + Builtin git-help.
150 + + builtin-help: always load_command_list() in cmd_help()
151 + + Add a second testcase for handling invalid strategies in git-merge
152 + + Add a new test for using a custom merge strategy
153 + + builtin-merge: allow using a custom strategy
154 + + builtin-help: make some internal functions available to other
155 + builtins
156 +
157 +* cc/merge-base-many (Sun Jul 27 13:47:22 2008 -0700) 4 commits
158 + + git-merge-octopus: use (merge-base A (merge B C D E...)) for
159 + stepwise merge
160 + + merge-base-many: add trivial tests based on the documentation
161 + + documentation: merge-base: explain "git merge-base" with more than
162 + 2 args
163 + + merge-base: teach "git merge-base" to drive underlying
164 + merge_bases_many()
165 +
166 +* rs/imap (Wed Jul 9 22:29:02 2008 +0100) 5 commits
167 + + Documentation: Improve documentation for git-imap-send(1)
168 + + imap-send.c: more style fixes
169 + + imap-send.c: style fixes
170 + + git-imap-send: Support SSL
171 + + git-imap-send: Allow the program to be run from subdirectories of
172 + a git tree
173 +
174 +Some people seem to prefer having this feature available also with gnutls.
175 +Such an enhancement can be done in-tree on top of this series if they are
176 +so inclined.
177 +
178 +* cc/bisect (Fri Jul 25 05:36:37 2008 +0200) 2 commits
179 + - bisect: only check merge bases when needed
180 + - bisect: test merge base if good rev is not an ancestor of bad rev
181 +
182 +The first one alone does not pass its self-test but combined together they
183 +seem to. It does not build confidence as the latter one is supposed to be
184 +an optimization only.
185 +
186 +* jc/add-addremove (Tue Jul 22 22:30:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
187 + + builtin-add.c: optimize -A option and "git add ."
188 + + builtin-add.c: restructure the code for maintainability
189 +
190 +* jk/pager-swap (Tue Jul 22 03:14:12 2008 -0400) 2 commits
191 + + spawn pager via run_command interface
192 + + run-command: add pre-exec callback
193 +
194 +This changes the parent-child relationship between the pager and the git
195 +process. We used to make pager the parent which meant that the exit
196 +status from git is lost from the caller.
197 +
198 +* ph/enable-threaded (Mon Jul 21 11:23:43 2008 +0200) 1 commit
199 + + Enable threaded delta search on *BSD and Linux.
200 +
201 +* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
202 + + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
203 + variables
204 +
205 +This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
206 +that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
207 +that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
208 +in 1.7.0.
209 +
210 +* jc/dashless (Thu Jun 26 16:43:34 2008 -0700) 2 commits
211 + + Revert "Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local
212 + transport"
213 + + Make clients ask for "git program" over ssh and local transport
214 +
215 +This is the "botched" one. Will be resurrected during 1.7.0 or 1.8.0
216 +timeframe.
217 +
218 +* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
219 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
220 + asked for
221 +
222 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
223 +hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
