5 +What's cooking in git.git (Sep 2008, #02; Wed, 10)
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 +----------------------------------------------------------------
16 +[New Topics]
17 +
18 +Many 'maint' material to go through the usual 'next' to 'master' to
19 +'maint' cycle..
20 +
21 +* mh/maint-honor-no-ssl-verify (Thu Feb 21 15:10:37 2008 -0800) 1 commit
22 + + Don't verify host name in SSL certs when GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY is set
23 +
24 +* dp/maint-rebase-fix (Tue Sep 9 16:05:26 2008 +0400) 2 commits
25 + + git-rebase--interactive: auto amend only edited commit
26 + + 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
29 + + checkout: do not lose staged removal

31 +* jc/maint-template-permbits (Thu Aug 21 19:31:50 2008 -0500) 1 commit
32 + + Fix permission bits on sources checked out with an overtight umask
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 + - Fixup -- waiting for response
49 + - git wrapper: also uses aliases to suggest mistyped commands
50 +
51 +* jc/alternate-push (Tue Sep 9 01:27:10 2008 -0700) 4 commits
52 + - push: receiver end advertises refs from alternate repositories
53 + - push: prepare sender to receive extended ref information from the
54 + receiver
55 + - receive-pack: make it a builtin
56 + - is_directory(): a generic helper function
57 +
58 +----------------------------------------------------------------
59 +[Graduated to "master"]
60 +
61 +* jc/hide-cr-in-diff-from-less (Wed Aug 27 19:48:01 2008 -0700) 1 commit
62 + + diff: Help "less" hide ^M from the output
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
79 + + git wrapper: DWIM mistyped commands
80 +
81 +----------------------------------------------------------------
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.

143 +* ho/dirstat-by-file (Fri Sep 5 22:27:35 2008 +0300) 1 commit

146 +* jc/safe-c-l-d (Tue Sep 2 14:10:15 2008 -0700) 1 commit

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
168 + less
169 + + xmerge.c: minimum readability fixups
170 + + xdiff-merge: optionally show conflicts in "diff3 -m" style

180 +* 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.
189 +
190 +* jc/add-ita (Thu Aug 21 01:44:53 2008 -0700) 1 commit
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.
195 +
196 +* mv/merge-recursive (Sat Sep 6 18:29:49 2008 +0200) 11 commits
197 + + builtin-merge: release the lockfile in try_merge_strategy()
198 + + merge-recursive: get rid of virtual_id
199 + + merge-recursive: move current_{file,directory}_set to struct
200 + merge_options
201 + + merge-recursive: move the global obuf to struct merge_options
202 + + merge-recursive: get rid of the index_only global variable
203 + + merge-recursive: move call_depth to struct merge_options
204 + + cherry-pick/revert: make direct internal call to merge_tree()
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 + + Split out merge_recursive() to merge-recursive.c
209 +
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.
215 +
216 +* jc/post-simplify (Fri Aug 15 01:34:51 2008 -0700) 2 commits
217 + - revision --simplify-merges: incremental simplification
218 + - revision --simplify-merges: prepare for incremental simplification
219 +
220 +I started making this incremental but the progress is not so great.

223 +[On Hold]
224 +
225 +* jc/stripspace (Sun Mar 9 00:30:35 2008 -0800) 6 commits
226 + - git-am --forge: add Signed-off-by: line for the author
227 + - git-am: clean-up Signed-off-by: lines
228 + - stripspace: add --log-clean option to clean up signed-off-by:
229 + lines
230 + - stripspace: use parse_options()
231 + - Add "git am -s" test
232 + - git-am: refactor code to add signed-off-by line for the committer
233 +
234 +The one at second from the tip needs reworking.
235 +
236 +* jc/send-pack-tell-me-more (Thu Mar 20 00:44:11 2008 -0700) 1 commit

238 +
239 +* jc/merge-whitespace (Sun Feb 24 23:29:36 2008 -0800) 1 commit
240 + - WIP: start teaching the --whitespace=fix to merge machinery
241 +
242 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
243 + - blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
244 + format
245 + - git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
246 +
247 +* sg/merge-options (Sun Apr 6 03:23:47 2008 +0200) 1 commit
248 + + merge: remove deprecated summary and diffstat options and config
249 + variables
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.
