+What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #03; Wed, 14)
7
+--------------------------------------------------
8
+
9
+Here are the topics that have been cooking. Commits prefixed
10
+with '-' are only in 'pu' while commits prefixed with '+' are
11
+in 'next'. The ones marked with '.' do not appear in any of the branches,
12
+but I am still 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
+
17
+----------------------------------------------------------------
18
+[New Topics]
19
+
20
+* kb/am-directory (Sun Jan 11 22:21:48 2009 -0800) 1 commit
21
+ + git-am: add --directory=<dir> option
22
+
23
+This is "third-time-lucky, perhaps?" resurrection. I do not think I'd be
24
+using this very often, but it originated from a real user request.
25
+
26
+* jk/signal-cleanup (Sun Jan 11 06:36:49 2009 -0500) 3 commits
27
+ - pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death
28
+ - refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
29
+ - chain kill signals for cleanup functions
30
+
31
+* kb/lstat-cache (Tue Jan 13 13:29:08 2009 +0100) 5 commits
32
+ - lstat_cache(): introduce clear_lstat_cache() function
33
+ - lstat_cache(): introduce invalidate_lstat_cache() function
34
+ - lstat_cache(): introduce has_dirs_only_path() function
35
+ - lstat_cache(): introduce has_symlink_or_noent_leading_path()
36
+ function
37
+ - lstat_cache(): more cache effective symlink/directory detection
38
+
39
+This is the seventh round; although the author asked me not to bother, I
40
+couldn't resist. I renamed one helper function while reading the patches
41
+and made minor adjustments on styles, but it looked reasonable.
42
+
43
+* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Mon Jan 12 00:45:55 2009 +0100) 3 commits
44
+ - builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
45
+ - archive.c: enable traversal of submodules
46
+ - tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules
47
+
48
+* jc/maint-format-patch-o-relative (Mon Jan 12 15:18:02 2009 -0800) 1 commit
49
+ - Teach format-patch to handle output directory relative to cwd
50
+
51
+This was my lunchtime "this may fix it" response to a breakage report. I
52
+haven't really thought things through but my gut feeling is this might
53
+break things for minorities who are accustomed to the existing behaviour,
54
+especially wrt the filenames reported on the standard output.
55
+
56
+* lt/maint-wrap-zlib (Wed Jan 7 19:54:47 2009 -0800) 1 commit
57
+ + Wrap inflate and other zlib routines for better error reporting
58
+
59
+Needs the "free our memory upon seeing Z_MEM_ERROR and try again" bits
60
+extracted from Shawn's patch on top of this one.
61
+
62
+* js/diff-color-words (Sun Jan 11 21:00:58 2009 +0100) 4 commits
63
+ - color-words: take an optional regular expression describing words
64
+ - color-words: refactor to allow for 0-character word boundaries
65
+ - color-words: refactor word splitting and use ALLOC_GROW()
66
+ - Add color_fwrite(), a function coloring each line individually
67
+
68
+Dscho's series that was done in response to Thomas's original; two agreed
69
+to work together on this codebase.
70
+
71
+* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
72
+ - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
73
+ - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
74
+ - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
75
+
76
+----------------------------------------------------------------
77
+[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
78
+
79
+* ds/uintmax-config (Mon Nov 3 09:14:28 2008 -0900) 1 commit
80
+ . autoconf: Enable threaded delta search when pthreads are supported
81
+
82
+I haven't heard neither positive nor negative comments from minority
83
+platforms that might be harmed, but this feels like the right thing to do,
84
+so perhaps the best course of action is to merge this down to 'master' and
85
+see if anybody screams.
86
+
87
+* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
88
+ + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
89
+ format
90
+ + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
91
+
92
+This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
93
+the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
94
+rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
95
+may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
96
+need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
