6 +What's cooking in git.git (Apr 2009, #01; Mon, 06)
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 branches, but I am still
12 +holding onto them.
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 +

145 +----------------------------------------------------------------
146 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
147 +
148 +* ps/blame (Thu Mar 12 21:30:03 2009 +1100) 1 commit
149 + - blame.c: start libifying the blame infrastructure
150 +
151 +A few minor point remains in this initial one. I hate to do these minor
152 +fix-ups myself, but I may end up doing so...
153 +
154 +* jc/log-tz (Tue Mar 3 00:45:37 2009 -0800) 1 commit
155 + - Allow --date=local --date=other-format to work as expected
156 +
157 +The one I posted had a few corner-case bugs that was caught with the test
158 +suite; this one has them fixed. People did not like the UI so it is kept
159 +out of 'next'
160 +
161 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 01:52:06 2009 +0100) 1 commit
162 + - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]
163 +
164 +Discussion stalled on the submodule selection criteria.
165 +Probably I should discard it and wait for a reroll if needed.
166 +
167 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit
168 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree
169 +
170 +This is a feature waiting for a user.
171 +
172 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am
173 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes
174 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the
175 +data in the canonical repository representation.
176 +
177 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three
178 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work
179 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical
180 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical
181 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to
182 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the
183 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write
184 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write
185 +in binary mode as well.
186 +
187 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
188 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes

190 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
191 +
192 +* js/notes (Wed Feb 18 11:17:27 2009 -0800) 14 commits
193 + - tests: fix "export var=val"
194 + - notes: refuse to edit notes outside refs/notes/
195 + - t3301: use test_must_fail instead of !
196 + - t3301: fix confusing quoting in test for valid notes ref
197 + - notes: use GIT_EDITOR and core.editor over VISUAL/EDITOR

202 + - notes: fix core.notesRef documentation
203 + - Add an expensive test for git-notes
204 + - Speed up git notes lookup
205 + - Add a script to edit/inspect notes
206 + - Introduce commit notes
207 +
208 +* hv/cvsps-tests (Sun Apr 5 01:40:50 2009 -0700) 8 commits
209 + - t/t9600: remove exit after test_done
210 + - cvsimport: extend testcase about patchset order to contain
211 + branches
212 + - cvsimport: add test illustrating a bug in cvsps
213 + + Add a test of "git cvsimport"'s handling of tags and branches
214 + + Add some tests of git-cvsimport's handling of vendor branches
215 + + Test contents of entire cvsimported "master" tree contents
216 + + Use CVS's -f option if available (ignore user's ~/.cvsrc file)
217 + + Start a library for cvsimport-related tests
218 +
219 +Two cvsimport test topics were rewound from 'next' and merged into this
220 +one. I'll keep this in 'pu' so that people can polish their cvsps skilz
221 +to resolve issues these tests identify.
