+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2008, #02; Sun, 14)
8
+--------------------------------------------------
9
+
10
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
11
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
12
+in 'next'.
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.
16
+
17
+As we have already passed -rc2, things queued in 'next' let alone 'pu' are
18
+unlikely to be merged to 'master' by the end of year unless otherwise
19
+noted.

65
+With updated documents.
66

72

95
+
96
+As intent-to-add index entry is a new feature for 1.6.1, it probably is a
97
+good idea to merge this to 'master'. Nitpicks and bugfixes are very much
98
+appreciated.

123
+
124
+* cc/bisect-replace (Mon Nov 24 22:20:30 2008 +0100) 9 commits
125
+ - bisect: add "--no-replace" option to bisect without using replace
126
+ refs
127
+ - rev-list: make it possible to disable replacing using "--no-
128
+ bisect-replace"
129
+ - bisect: use "--bisect-replace" options when checking merge bases
130
+ - merge-base: add "--bisect-replace" option to use fixed up revs
131
+ - commit: add "bisect_replace_all" prototype to "commit.h"
132
+ - rev-list: add "--bisect-replace" to list revisions with fixed up
133
+ history
134
+ - Documentation: add "git bisect replace" documentation
135
+ - bisect: add test cases for "git bisect replace"
136
+ - bisect: add "git bisect replace" subcommand
137
+
138
+I really hate the idea of introducing a potentially much more useful
139
+replacement of the existing graft mechanism and tie it very tightly to
140
+bisect, making it unusable from outside.
141
+
142
+ (1) I do not think "bisect replace" workflow is a practical and usable
143
+ one;
144
+
145
+ (2) The underlying mechanism to express "this object replaces that other
146
+ object" is much easier to work with than what the graft does which is
147
+ "the parents of this commit are these", and idea to use the normal
148
+ ref to point at them means this can potentially be used for
149
+ transferring the graft information across repositories, which the
150
+ current graft mechanism cannot do.
151
+
152
+ (3) Because I like the aspect (2) of this series so much, it deeply
153
+ disappoints and troubles me that this is implemented minimally near
154
+ the surface, and that it is controlled by the "bisect" Porcelain
155
+ alone, by explicitly passing command line arguments.
156
+
157
+I think a mechanism like this should be added to replace grafts, but it
158
+should always be enabled for normal revision traversal operation, while
159
+always disabled for object enumeration and transfer operation (iow, fsck,
160
+fetch and push should use the real ancestry information recorded in the
161
+underlying objects, while rev-list, log, etc. should always use the
162
+replaced objects). I have a suspicion that even cat-file could honor it.
163
+
164
+* nd/narrow (Sun Nov 30 17:54:38 2008 +0700) 17 commits
165
+ - wt-status: show sparse checkout info
166
+ - Introduce default sparse patterns (core.defaultsparse)
167
+ - checkout: add new options to support sparse checkout
168
+ - clone: support sparse checkout with --sparse-checkout option
169
+ - unpack_trees(): add support for sparse checkout
170
+ - unpack_trees(): keep track of unmerged entries
171
+ - Introduce "sparse patterns"
172
+ - Merge branch 'master' into nd/narrow
173
+ + t2104: touch portability fix
174
+ + grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area
175
+ + checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
176
+ + Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse
177
+ checkout
178
+ + ls-files: Add tests for --sparse and friends
179
+ + update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
180
+ CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
181
+ + update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
182
+ + ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout
183
+ + Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
184
+
185
+Kicked back to 'on hold' until 1.6.1 final by popular demand; will be
186
+dropped from 'next' (see recent discussion on the interaction between the
187
+checkout area and commands such as "grep").
188
+
189
+* jc/clone-symref-2 (Sat Nov 29 23:38:21 2008 -0800) 7 commits
190
+ - clone: test the new HEAD detection logic
191
+ - Merge commit 'HEAD@{2}' into HEAD
192
+ - upload-pack: send the HEAD information
193
+ - clone: find the current branch more explicitly
194
+ - connect.c::read_extra_info(): find where HEAD points at
195
+ - connect.c::read_extra_info(): prepare to receive more than server
196
+ capabilities
197
+ - get_remote_heads(): refactor code to read "server capabilities"
198
+
199
+This is no way meant for 1.6.1, let alone next, yet.
200
+
201
+* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
202
+ - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
203
+
204
+This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
205
+Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
206
+continue.
207
+
208
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
209
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
210
+ asked for
211
+
212
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
213
+but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
214
+this back for now.
215
+
216
+* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
217
+ - git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
218
+ - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
219
+ - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
220
+ lines
221
+ - stripspace: use parse_options()
222
+ - Add "git am -s" test
