6 +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.
97 +
98 +----------------------------------------------------------------
99 +[Actively cooking]
100 +
101 +* gb/gitweb-opml (Fri Jan 2 13:49:30 2009 +0100) 2 commits

111 +

116 +
117 +* mv/apply-parse-opt (Fri Jan 9 22:21:36 2009 -0800) 2 commits

123 + + rebase -i: learn to rebase root commit
124 + + rebase: learn to rebase root commit
125 + + rebase -i: execute hook only after argument checking
