6 +What's cooking in git.git (Jan 2009, #05; Wed, 21)
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 +----------------------------------------------------------------
18 +[New Topics]
19 +
20 +* js/valgrind (Wed Jan 21 02:36:40 2009 +0100) 2 commits
21 + - valgrind: ignore ldso errors
22 + - Add valgrind support in test scripts
23 +
24 +Dscho seems to have some updates out of discussion with Peff.
25 +
26 +----------------------------------------------------------------
27 +[Stalled and may need help and prodding to go forward]
28 +
29 +* jc/blame (Wed Jun 4 22:58:40 2008 -0700) 2 commits
30 + + blame: show "previous" information in --porcelain/--incremental
31 + format
32 + + git-blame: refactor code to emit "porcelain format" output
33 +
34 +This gives Porcelains (like gitweb) the information on the commit _before_
35 +the one that the final blame is laid on, which should save them one
36 +rev-parse to dig further. The line number in the "previous" information
37 +may need refining, and sanity checking code for reference counting may
38 +need to be resurrected before this can move forward.
39 +
40 +* db/foreign-scm (Sun Jan 11 15:12:10 2009 -0500) 3 commits
41 + - Support fetching from foreign VCSes
42 + - Add specification of git-vcs helpers
43 + - Add "vcs" config option in remotes
44 +
45 +The "spec" did not seem quite well cooked yet, but in the longer term I
46 +think something like this to allow interoperating with other SCMs as if
47 +the other end is a native git repository is a very worthy goal.
48 +
49 +----------------------------------------------------------------
50 +[Actively cooking]
51 +
52 +* sp/runtime-prefix (Sun Jan 18 13:00:15 2009 +0100) 7 commits
53 + - Windows: Revert to default paths and convert them by
54 + RUNTIME_PREFIX
55 + - Compute prefix at runtime if RUNTIME_PREFIX is set
56 + - Modify setup_path() to only add git_exec_path() to PATH
57 + - Add calls to git_extract_argv0_path() in programs that call
58 + git_config_*
59 + - git_extract_argv0_path(): Move check for valid argv0 from caller
60 + to callee
61 + - Refactor git_set_argv0_path() to git_extract_argv0_path()
62 + - Move computation of absolute paths from Makefile to runtime (in
63 + preparation for RUNTIME_PREFIX)
64 +
65 +We should move this to 'next' soon with J6t's blessing.
66 +
67 +* lh/submodule-tree-traversal (Mon Jan 12 00:45:55 2009 +0100) 3 commits
68 + + builtin-ls-tree: enable traversal of submodules
69 + + archive.c: enable traversal of submodules
70 + + tree.c: add support for traversal of submodules
71 +
72 +I think choosing the submodules to descend into by seeing if the commit
73 +happens to be available is a horribly broken semantics; it needs to be
74 +fixed before this can move to 'master'.
75 +
76 +* jk/signal-cleanup (Sun Jan 11 06:36:49 2009 -0500) 3 commits
77 + - pager: do wait_for_pager on signal death
78 + - refactor signal handling for cleanup functions
79 + - chain kill signals for cleanup functions
80 +
81 +I think this can move to 'next', as Peff and J6t agreed on how to fix
82 +things up as needed for Windows.
83 +
84 +* ks/maint-mailinfo-folded (Tue Jan 13 01:21:04 2009 +0300) 5 commits
85 + - mailinfo: tests for RFC2047 examples
86 + - mailinfo: add explicit test for mails like '<a.u.thor@example.com>
87 + (A U Thor)'
88 + - mailinfo: more smarter removal of rfc822 comments from 'From'
89 + + mailinfo: 'From:' header should be unfold as well
90 + + mailinfo: correctly handle multiline 'Subject:' header
91 +
92 +As far as I can see, the only remaining thing is a minor fix-up in the
93 +"comment removal" one before we can move this fully to 'next'.
94 +
95 +* js/notes (Tue Jan 13 20:57:16 2009 +0100) 6 commits
96 + + git-notes: fix printing of multi-line notes
97 + + notes: fix core.notesRef documentation
98 + + Add an expensive test for git-notes
99 + + Speed up git notes lookup
100 + + Add a script to edit/inspect notes
101 + + Introduce commit notes
102 +
103 +It would be nice to hear a real world success story using the notes
104 +mechanism before casting this design in stone.
105 +
106 +* sc/gitweb-category (Fri Dec 12 00:45:12 2008 +0100) 3 commits
107 + - gitweb: Optional grouping of projects by category
108 + - gitweb: Split git_project_list_body in two functions
109 + - gitweb: Modularized git_get_project_description to be more generic
110 +
111 +Design discussion between Jakub and Sebastien continues.
112 +
113 +----------------------------------------------------------------
114 +[Graduated to "master"]
115 +

119 +
120 +* sb/hook-cleanup (Sat Jan 17 04:02:55 2009 +0100) 5 commits
121 + + run_hook(): allow more than 9 hook arguments
122 + + run_hook(): check the executability of the hook before filling
123 + argv
124 + + api-run-command.txt: talk about run_hook()
125 + + Move run_hook() from builtin-commit.c into run-command.c (libgit)
126 + + checkout: don't crash on file checkout before running post-
127 + checkout hook
128 +
129 +* rs/ctype (Sat Jan 17 16:50:37 2009 +0100) 4 commits

138 +
139 +* sg/maint-gitdir-in-subdir (Fri Jan 16 16:37:33 2009 +0100) 1 commit
140 + + Fix gitdir detection when in subdir of gitdir
141 +
142 +This has my "don't do the fullpath if you are directly inside .git"
143 +squashed in, so it should be much safer.
144 +
145 +* am/maint-push-doc (Sun Jan 18 15:36:58 2009 +0100) 4 commits
146 + + Documentation: avoid using undefined parameters
147 + + Documentation: mention branches rather than heads
148 + + Documentation: remove a redundant elaboration
149 + + Documentation: git push repository can also be a remote
150 +
151 +* lt/maint-wrap-zlib (Wed Jan 7 19:54:47 2009 -0800) 1 commit
152 + + Wrap inflate and other zlib routines for better error reporting
153 +
154 +Needs the "free our memory upon seeing Z_MEM_ERROR and try again" bits
155 +extracted from Shawn's patch on top of this one.
156 +
157 +* kb/am-directory (Wed Jan 14 16:29:59 2009 -0800) 2 commits
158 + + git-am: fix shell quoting
159 + + git-am: add --directory=<dir> option
160 +
161 +This is "third-time-lucky, perhaps?" resurrection. I do not think I'd be
162 +using this very often, but it originated from a real user request.
163 +
164 +* jc/maint-format-patch-o-relative (Mon Jan 12 15:18:02 2009 -0800) 1 commit
165 + + Teach format-patch to handle output directory relative to cwd

177 +
