+What's cooking in git.git (Dec 2008, #01; Tue, 02)
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
+As we have already passed -rc1, things queued in 'next' let alone 'pu' are
16
+unlikely to be merged to 'master' by the end of year unless otherwise
17
+noted.
18
+

20
+[New Topics]
21
+
22
+* gb/gitweb-patch (Sat Nov 29 14:41:11 2008 +0100) 2 commits
23
+ - [DONTMERGE: wait for signoff] gitweb: links to patch action in
24
+ commitdiff and shortlog view
25
+ - gitweb: add patch view
26
+
27
+* lt/reset-merge (Mon Dec 1 09:30:31 2008 -0800) 1 commit
28
+ + Add 'merge' mode to 'git reset'
29
+
30
+Unfortunately, I cannot write down a good use case in what circumstances
31
+this is needed, even though I do recall that I occasionally (perhaps once
32
+every two months) needed to do "read-tree -m -u" myself in the past, and
33
+this patch brings that feature close to Porcelain. On the other hand, the
34
+existing "reset --mixed" is very easily explained ("after starting to add
35
+changes to the staging area, you realized that you screwed up, and you
36
+want to redo it from scratch"). Therefore, I cannot justify what the log
37
+message of this change claims myself.
38
+
39
+* jc/rm-i-t-a (Fri Nov 28 19:56:34 2008 -0800) 5 commits
40
+ + git add --intent-to-add: do not let an empty blob be committed by
41
+ accident
42
+ + git add --intent-to-add: fix removal of cached emptiness
43
+ + builtin-rm.c: explain and clarify the "local change" logic
44
+ + Merge branch 'nd/narrow' (early part) into jc/add-i-t-a
45
+ + Extend index to save more flags
46
+
47
+As intent-to-add index entry is a new feature for 1.6.1, it probably is a
48
+good idea to merge this to 'master'. Nitpicks and bugfixes are very much
49
+appreciated.
50
+
51
+* wp/add-patch-find (Thu Nov 27 04:08:03 2008 +0000) 3 commits
52
+ - In add --patch, Handle K,k,J,j slightly more gracefully.
53
+ - Add / command in add --patch
54
+ - git-add -i/-p: Change prompt separater from slash to comma
55
+
56
+There are some other useful bits and pieces around this area exchanged on
57
+the list with the author of these patches. I think it would become a
58
+useful series after reassembling their pieces. Waiting for v2.
59
+
60
+* jn/gitweb-utf8 (Mon Dec 1 19:01:42 2008 +0100) 1 commit
61
+ - gitweb: Fix handling of non-ASCII characters in inserted HTML
62
+ files.
63
+
64
+Possibly a bugfix worthy to have in 1.6.1.
65
+
66
+* jc/clone-symref-2 (Sat Nov 29 23:38:21 2008 -0800) 7 commits
67
+ - clone: test the new HEAD detection logic
68
+ - Merge commit 'HEAD@{2}' into HEAD
69
+ - upload-pack: send the HEAD information
70
+ - clone: find the current branch more explicitly
71
+ - connect.c::read_extra_info(): find where HEAD points at
72
+ - connect.c::read_extra_info(): prepare to receive more than server
73
+ capabilities
74
+ - get_remote_heads(): refactor code to read "server capabilities"
75
+
76
+This is no way meant for 1.6.1, let alone next, yet.

174
+
175
+I really hate the idea of introducing a potentially much more useful
176
+replacement of the existing graft mechanism and tie it very tightly to
177
+bisect, making it unusable from outside.
178
+
179
+ (1) I do not think "bisect replace" workflow is a practical and usable
180
+ one;
181
+
182
+ (2) The underlying mechanism to express "this object replaces that other
183
+ object" is much easier to work with than what the graft does which is
184
+ "the parents of this commit are these", and idea to use the normal
185
+ ref to point at them means this can potentially be used for
186
+ transferring the graft information across repositories, which the
187
+ current graft mechanism cannot do.
188
+
189
+ (3) Because I like the aspect (2) of this series so much, it deeply
190
+ disappoints and troubles me that this is implemented minimally near
191
+ the surface, and that it is controlled by the "bisect" Porcelain
192
+ alone, by explicitly passing command line arguments.
193
+
194
+I think a mechanism like this should be added to replace grafts, but it
195
+should always be enabled for normal revision traversal operation, while
196
+always disabled for object enumeration and transfer operation (iow, fsck,
197
+fetch and push should use the real ancestry information recorded in the
198
+underlying objects, while rev-list, log, etc. should always use the
199
+replaced objects). I have a suspicion that even cat-file could honor it.
