5 +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 +
19 +----------------------------------------------------------------
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.
77 +

132 +After merging these to 'master' I found a breakage which I hopefully

142 +
143 +* cb/mergetool (Thu Nov 13 12:41:15 2008 +0000) 3 commits
144 + - [DONTMERGE] Add -k/--keep-going option to mergetool
145 + - Add -y/--no-prompt option to mergetool
146 + - Fix some tab/space inconsistencies in git-mergetool.sh
147 +
148 +Jeff had good comments on the last one; the discussion needs concluded,
149 +and also waiting for comments from the original author (Ted).
150 +
151 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
152 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
153 + format
154 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output

157 + - autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
158 +
159 +Rebased to 'master', that introduced NO_PTHREADS.
160 +
161 +* cc/bisect-replace (Mon Nov 24 22:20:30 2008 +0100) 9 commits
162 + - bisect: add "--no-replace" option to bisect without using replace
163 + refs
164 + - rev-list: make it possible to disable replacing using "--no-
165 + bisect-replace"
166 + - bisect: use "--bisect-replace" options when checking merge bases
167 + - merge-base: add "--bisect-replace" option to use fixed up revs
168 + - commit: add "bisect_replace_all" prototype to "commit.h"
169 + - rev-list: add "--bisect-replace" to list revisions with fixed up
170 + history
171 + - Documentation: add "git bisect replace" documentation
172 + - bisect: add test cases for "git bisect replace"
173 + - bisect: add "git bisect replace" subcommand
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.
200 +
201 +* nd/narrow (Sun Nov 30 17:54:38 2008 +0700) 18 commits
202 + - wt-status: show sparse checkout info
203 + - Introduce default sparse patterns (core.defaultsparse)
204 + - checkout: add new options to support sparse checkout
205 + - clone: support sparse checkout with --sparse-checkout option
206 + - unpack_trees(): add support for sparse checkout
207 + - unpack_trees(): keep track of unmerged entries
208 + - Introduce "sparse patterns"
209 + - Merge branch 'master' into nd/narrow
210 + + t2104: touch portability fix
211 + + grep: skip files outside sparse checkout area
212 + + checkout_entry(): CE_NO_CHECKOUT on checked out entries.
213 + + Prevent diff machinery from examining worktree outside sparse
214 + checkout
215 + + ls-files: Add tests for --sparse and friends
216 + + update-index: add --checkout/--no-checkout to update
217 + CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
218 + + update-index: refactor mark_valid() in preparation for new options
219 + + ls-files: add options to support sparse checkout
220 + + Introduce CE_NO_CHECKOUT bit
221 + + Extend index to save more flags
222 +
223 +Kicked back to 'on hold' until 1.6.1 final by popular(?) demand.
224 +
225 +* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit
226 + - "git push": tellme-more protocol extension
227 +
228 +This seems to have a deadlock during communication between the peers.
229 +Someone needs to pick up this topic and resolve the deadlock before it can
230 +continue.
231 +
232 +* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
233 + - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
234 + asked for
235 +
236 +This would be the right thing to do for command line use,
237 +but gitk will be hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding
238 +this back for now.
239 +
240 +* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
241 + - git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
242 + - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
243 + - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
244 + lines
245 + - stripspace: use parse_options()
246 + - Add "git am -s" test
247 + - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer
