+What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #02; Wed, 10)

+--------------------------------------------------

+
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.

16
+[New Topics]
17

18
+Many 'maint' material to go through the usual 'next' to 'master' to
19
+'maint' cycle..

+ + git-rebase-interactive: do not squash commits on abort
27
+
28
+* jc/maint-checkout-keep-remove (Sun Sep 7 19:49:25 2008 -0700) 1 commit

33
+
34
+* am/status (Mon Sep 8 00:05:03 2008 +0200) 2 commits
35
+ - wt-status: Teach how to discard changes in the working directory
36
+ - wt-status: Split header generation into three functions
37
+
38
+This is what I commented as "making status output even chattier", but
39
+parked here to see what people think.
40
+
41
+* mv/commit-tree (Wed Sep 10 22:10:33 2008 +0200) 3 commits
42
+ - t7603: add new testcases to ensure builtin-commit uses
43
+ reduce_heads()
44
+ - builtin-commit: use commit_tree()
45
+ - commit_tree(): add a new author parameter
46
+
47
+* pb/autocorrect-wrapper (Wed Sep 10 14:44:20 2008 -0700) 2 commits
48

52

63
+
64
+* jc/maint-checkout-fix (Fri Aug 29 13:40:36 2008 -0700) 1 commit
65
+ + checkout: do not check out unmerged higher stages randomly
66
+
67
+This is the same one as the bottom of "better conflict resolution" series.
68
+
69
+* jc/cc-ld-dynpath (Sat Aug 16 15:01:23 2008 +0200) 2 commits
70
+ + configure: auto detect dynamic library path switches
71
+ + Makefile: Allow CC_LD_DYNPATH to be overriden
72
+
73
+I decided to push this forward; it might break minority configurations,
74
+but it appears nobody pays attention until it actually hurts, so let's see
75
+what happens when this hits 'master'.
76
+
77
+* ar/autospell (Sun Aug 31 15:54:58 2008 +0200) 2 commits
78
+ + Add help.autocorrect to enable/disable autocorrecting

82
+[Stalled -- Needs Action to Proceed (or to be dropped)]
83
+
84
+* bd/blame (Thu Aug 21 18:22:01 2008 -0500) 5 commits
85
+ - Use xdiff caching to improve git blame performance
86
+ - Allow xdiff machinery to cache hash results for a file
87
+ - Always initialize xpparam_t to 0
88
+ - Bypass textual patch generation and parsing in git blame
89
+ - Allow alternate "low-level" emit function from xdl_diff
90
+
91
+Réne had good comments on how the callback should be structured.
92
+
93
+* kb/am-directory (Fri Aug 29 15:27:50 2008 -0700) 1 commit
94
+ - git-am: Pass the --directory option through to git-apply
95
+
96
+I think this is still buggy and drops the option when am stops with
97
+conflicts.
98
+
99
+* dk/emacs (Tue Aug 26 22:24:40 2008 -0500) 2 commits
100
+ - Teach git.el to mark/unmark files by regexp
101
+ - git.el: Diff only file at point by default
102
+
103
+These are still queued but Alexandre had improvement requests so these
104
+will likely be dropped.

157

158
+ + git-merge documentation: describe how conflict is presented
159
+ + checkout --conflict=<style>: recreate merge in a non-default style

161

162
+ resolution'
163
+ + git-merge-recursive: learn to honor merge.conflictstyle
164
+ + merge.conflictstyle: choose between "merge" and "diff3 -m" styles
165
+ + rerere: understand "diff3 -m" style conflicts with the original
166
+ + rerere.c: use symbolic constants to keep track of parsing states
167
+ + xmerge.c: "diff3 -m" style clips merge reduction level to EAGER or

+* jc/maint-name-hash-clear (Sat Aug 23 13:05:10 2008 -0700) 1 commit
181
+ + discard_cache: reset lazy name_hash bit
182
+
183
+I spotted this by accident while working on something unrelated.
184
+
185
+When a program calls discard_cache() to read the index again, we do not
186
+properly re-initialize the name_hash structure that is used by the case
187
+insensitivitly logic. This _might_ improve issues people may be having on
188
+case insensitive filesystems. I dunno.

191
+ + git-add --intent-to-add (-N)
192
+
193
+Teaches "git add" to record only the intent to add a path later.
194
+I rerolled this without the fake empty blob object.

205
+ + builtin-merge: avoid run_command_v_opt() for recursive and subtree
206
+ + merge-recursive: introduce merge_options
207
+ + merge-recursive.c: Add more generic merge_recursive_generic()
208

210
+* jc/diff-prefix (Mon Aug 18 20:08:09 2008 -0700) 1 commit
211
+ + diff: vary default prefix depending on what are compared
212
+
213
+As some people may have noticed, I've been running with this one when
214
+sending out "How about this" patches to the discussion threads.

248

250
+
251
+This was previously in "will be in master soon" category, but it turns out
252
+that the synonyms to the ones this one deletes are fairly new invention
253
+that happend in 1.5.6 timeframe, and we cannot do this just yet. Perhaps
254
+in 1.7.0, but with the loud whining about moving git-foo out of $PATH we
255
+have been hearing, it might not be a bad idea to drop this.
256

257
+* jk/renamelimit (Sat May 3 13:58:42 2008 -0700) 1 commit
258
+ - diff: enable "too large a rename" warning when -M/-C is explicitly
259
+ asked for
260
+
261
+This would be the right thing to do for command line use, but gitk will be
262
+hit due to tcl/tk's limitation, so I am holding this back for now.
