3 +X-master-at: 81d3fe9f4871e42ebd1af0221fa091fe5476e2f7

4 +X-next-at: fe6246962442d691150184fe12c71dd019e1b41f

6 +What's cooking in git.git (Feb 2009, #05; Mon, 16)

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 +

17 +The master branch is slightly past 1.6.2-rc1.

18 +

19 +As an experiment, 'next' and 'pu' stay open during this release freeze;

20 +new topics are accepted as time permits, but people are much more strongly

21 +encouraged to find issues on what is already on 'master', and patches to

22 +fix them always takes precedence over what is still on 'next' and will

23 +never graduate until 1.6.2 final.

24 +

25 +----------------------------------------------------------------

26 +[New Topics]

27 +

28 +* gb/gitweb-base (Sun Feb 15 10:18:36 2009 +0100) 1 commit

29 + - gitweb: fix wrong base URL when non-root DirectoryIndex

30 +

31 +Should this go in 1.6.2-rc2?

32 +

33 +* tr/gcov (Sun Feb 15 23:25:45 2009 +0100) 8 commits

34 + - Test git-patch-id

35 + - Test rev-list --parents/--children

36 + - Test log --decorate

37 + - Test fsck a bit harder

38 + - Test log --graph

39 + - Test diff --dirstat functionality

40 + - Test that diff can read from stdin

41 + - Support coverage testing with GCC/gcov

42 +

43 +* jc/add-p-unquote (Mon Feb 16 22:43:43 2009 -0800) 1 commit

44 + - git-add -i/-p: learn to unwrap C-quoted paths

45 +

46 +----------------------------------------------------------------

47 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]

48 +

49 +* ns/stash-keep (Thu Feb 12 06:25:14 2009 +0900) 1 commit

50 + - stash: --keep option just saves

51 +

52 +Do we want to keep this one?

53 +

54 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 01:52:06 2009 +0100) 1 commit

55 + - archive.c: add support for --submodules[=(all|checkedout)]

56 +

57 +Discussion stalled on the submodule selection criteria.

58 +

59 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits

60 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental

61 + format

62 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output

63 +

64 +This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_

65 +the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one

66 +rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information

67 +may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may

68 +need to be resurrected before this can move forward.

69 +

70 +I thought recent tig discussion may blow new life into it, but is this

71 +unneeded? If so I'd rather revert it (or discard after 1.6.2).

72 +

73 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits

74 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes

75 + - Add specification of git-vcs helpers

76 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes

77 +

78 +The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I

79 +think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if

80 +the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.

81 +

82 +* cc/replace (Mon Feb 2 06:13:06 2009 +0100) 11 commits

83 + - builtin-replace: use "usage_msg_opt" to give better error messages

84 + - parse-options: add new function "usage_msg_opt"

85 + - builtin-replace: teach "git replace" to actually replace

86 + - Add new "git replace" command

87 + - environment: add global variable to disable replacement

88 + - mktag: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1

89 + - replace_object: add a test case

90 + - object: call "check_sha1_signature" with the replacement sha1

91 + - sha1_file: add a "read_sha1_file_repl" function

92 + - replace_object: add mechanism to replace objects found in

93 + "refs/replace/"

94 + - refs: add a "for_each_replace_ref" function

95 +

96 +I think the code is much cleaner than the first round, but I am not

97 +convinced it is doing the right thing in the connectivity traverser.

98 +Independent review sorely needed.

99 +

100 +* sc/gitweb-category (Fri Dec 12 00:45:12 2008 +0100) 3 commits

101 + - gitweb: Optional grouping of projects by category

102 + - gitweb: Split git_project_list_body in two functions

103 + - gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic

104 +

105 +Design discussion between Jakub and Sebastien seems to have stalled, but

106 +Jakub seems to be taking this over.

107 +

108 +* jc/fsck (Fri Jan 30 02:33:47 2009 -0800) 4 commits

109 + - fsck: three levels of validation

110 + - verify-pack: add --quick

111 + - verify_pack(): allow a quicker verification for a pack with

112 + version 2 idx

113 + - pack-check.c: minor formatting fix to match coding style

114 +

115 +J6t has a good point that if this had any value then medium level should

116 +replace the default. I am tempted to actually dropping this as a failed

117 +experiment.

118 +

119 +----------------------------------------------------------------

120 +[Reverted]

121 +

122 +* mh/unify-color (Fri Jan 23 01:25:23 2009 -0800) 3 commits

123 + ? Revert previous two commits

124 + ? move the color variables to color.c

125 + ? handle color.ui at a central place

126 +

127 +This broke git-format-patch badly.

129 +* js/rebase-error-a-bit-more-verbose (Sun Feb 8 21:22:18 2009 -0800) 2 commits

130 + ? Revert "rebase: explain why when the HEAD could not be detached"

131 + ? rebase: explain why when the HEAD could not be detached

132 +

133 +This turned out to be unnecessary.

134 +

135 +* rs/maint-1.6.0-windows-ceiling (Sat Feb 7 12:40:40 2009 -0800) 2 commits

136 + ? Revert "fix t1504 on Windows"

137 + ? fix t1504 on Windows

139 +I'm giving a fresh start to J6t's series which contains this.

140 +

141 +* lh/reverted-submodule-tree-traversal (Sun Jan 25 18:39:55 2009 -0800) 4 commits

143 + ? builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules

144 + ? archive.c: enable traversal of submodules

145 + ? tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules

164 + + imap.preformattedHTML to tell Thunderbird to send non-flowed text

165 +

166 +The patch text should be identical to Jeremy's "Virtual Patch", except

167 +that the configuration variable was renamed per list discussion.

168 +

169 +* jw/format-patch-attach (Thu Feb 12 09:51:55 2009 -0600) 1 commit

195 +

196 +* kb/checkout-optim (Mon Feb 9 21:54:53 2009 +0100) 9 commits

219 +----------------------------------------------------------------

220 +[Actively cooking]

221 +

222 +* js/notes (Sat Feb 14 21:23:25 2009 +0100) 13 commits

223 + - notes: refuse to edit notes outside refs/notes/

224 + - t3301: use test_must_fail instead of !

233 + + Speed up git notes lookup

234 + + Add a script to edit/inspect notes

235 + + Introduce commit notes

236 +

237 +Earlier part was merged to master and then reverted there. I probably

238 +should rebase this after 1.6.2 to keep my sanity.

239 +

240 +* fc/config-editor (Tue Feb 17 02:54:54 2009 +0200) 9 commits

241 + . config: Cleanup editor action.

242 + . config: Codestyle cleanups.

244 + . config: Disallow multiple config file locations.

245 + . config: Disallow multiple variable types.

246 + . config: Use parseopt.

247 + . config: Reorganize get_color*.

248 + . config: Trivial rename in preparation for parseopt.

249 + - config: Add new option to open an editor.

250 +

251 +The follow-up series does not pass the test suite, and evicted from 'pu';

252 +the first one might be 'next' worthy, though.

253 +

254 +* js/remote-set-head (Sat Feb 14 05:30:30 2009 -0500) 5 commits

255 + - builtin-remote: better handling of multiple remote HEADs

256 + - builtin-remote: add set-head subcommand

257 + - builtin-remote: teach show to display remote HEAD

258 + - builtin-remote: move duplicated cleanup code its own function

259 + - builtin-clone: move locate_head() to remote.c so it can be re-used

260 +

261 +* jk/head-lookup (Sun Feb 15 01:18:18 2009 -0500) 5 commits

262 + - remote: use exact HEAD lookup if it is available

263 + - remote: refactor guess_remote_head

264 + - refactor find_refs_by_name to accept const list

265 + - add basic http clone/fetch tests

266 + - test scripts: refactor start_httpd helper

267 +

268 +Builds on top of Jay Soffian's js/remote-set-head topic. How well do

269 +these two work in practice in the real world? Success stories?

270 +

271 +----------------------------------------------------------------

272 +[On Hold]

273 +

274 +* jc/deny-delete-current-1.7.0 (Mon Feb 9 00:19:46 2009 -0800) 1 commit

275 + - receive-pack: default receive.denyDeleteCurrent to refuse

276 +

277 +* jc/refuse-push-to-current-1.7.0 (Wed Feb 11 02:28:03 2009 -0800) 1 commit

279 + push

280 +

281 +This is for 1.7.0.

282 +

283 +* jc/commit-assume-also-during-merge (Thu Jan 22 22:21:49 2009 -0800) 3 commits

284 + - git commit: pathspec without -i/-o implies -i semantics during a

285 + merge

286 + - builtin-commit: shorten eye-sore overlong lines

287 + - Add "partial commit" tests during a conflicted merge

288 +

289 +This was only meant as a weatherballoon to help facilitate discussion.

290 +

291 +* jc/merge-convert (Mon Jan 26 16:45:01 2009 -0800) 1 commit

292 + - git-merge-file: allow converting the results for the work tree

293 +

294 +This is a feature waiting for a user. I do not need it in 1.6.2

295 +

296 +We did not give scripted Porcelains a way to say "this temporary file I am

297 +using for merging is for this path, so use the core.autocrlf and attributes

298 +rules for that final path". Instead, merge-file simply wrote out the

299 +data in the canonical repository representation.

300 +

301 +rerere has the same issue, but it is a lot worse. It reads the three

302 +files (preimage, postimage and thisimage) from the work tree in the work

303 +tree representation, merges them without converting them to the canonical

304 +representation first but inserts the conflict markers with the canonical

305 +representation and writes the resulting mess out. It needs to be fixed to

306 +read with convert_to_git(), merge them while they are still in the

307 +canonical representation and possibly add conflict markers, and then write

308 +the results out after convert_to_working_tree(). It also needs to write

309 +in binary mode as well.

310 +

311 +[Perhaps will discard]
